Hi,

We have a requirement to make our application work in offline mode. Currently, we are using the Bing Maps v8 API. Is it possible to use Bing Maps in offline mode?

We are also exploring Azure Maps. Is it possible to achieve offline capability using Azure Maps, and do you have any sample code for the same.

Thanks!

    Bing Maps does not support offline mode.

    With Azure Maps it is possible to self-host the web SDK as it's available via NPM. I believe it can work offline with a bit of configuring, but it won't have any access to any of the map data, so you would need to have a local tile layer available for offline use. I've done this before with version 2 of Azure Maps, I'll have to try out version 3 (lots of map style changes that may impact things).
