Let me guide you.
Step 1:- Visit the Bing Maps official page and search for your location.
Step 2:- After that, you will see a “share” option. Click to that.
Step 3:- Bing will provide the URL of the map and an “embed” option. Just click and a new tab will pop up in front of you.
Step 4:- This is where you would customize the map. You can choose the size for that. You can even style the map. But the main thing is to grab the code from below.

Hi Amar,
WordPress is all about plugins for most of its users. But if you try to skip those numerous plugins from the repository then you can have a fast loading website.
Adding the Bing Maps without a plugin is a great idea. You just have to generate the code for your location and use it.
Thanks for sharing your words.
