If your new to tile maps this is definitely worth a read!

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingma … ile-system

Note that this information is not needed to use Online Maps (I mean this asset works out of the box) but certainly recommended to understand how the system works behind the scenes.
Online maps uses both Web Mercator projection and Quadkeys, both explained quite well in this article.

Cheers.
