Question

Is there a sample for Microsoft Places IMDF package?

Hoffman, Fred 0

I created an IMDF package to upload in Places for a building we are testing in the system. Following the instructions from MS here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/places/setting-up-maps-in-places) I get to the final step of importing the correlated IMDF package and I am met with an error message:

New-Map: Status(StatusCode="Internal", Detail="Object reference not set to an instance of an object.")

Based on this message it seems like either there is an object in my file set the process doesn't know what to do with, or I am missing something it is looking for. Does anyone out there have a successful package I could look at to see what I am missing?

This is the first time I've heard of this indoor mapping solution in a Microsoft product. It is not related to Azure Maps. It looks like this is a newly added feature in M365 that's still in preview and likely leverages the native maps available on individual devices (google maps on android, apple maps on iOS...). If you have a support contact for M365, that might be a good place to start. Alternatively, try the M365 community forums here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365/ct-p/microsoft365
