How to show map using Bing Maps with long and lat values?

Question

I would like to call Bing Maps and pass the URL parameters and show the map based on longitude and latitude values, for example we can do this in Google maps https://www.google.com/maps?q=37.819722,-122.478611 so how do we achieve this using Bing maps? I need a simple URL that we can construct and pass the parameters of Long and Lat values so the map shows up, any code example would really help, I don't want to use API keys just a simple passing of parameters should do the trick, any idea?
