Dear all,
I would like to ask you for a particular situation, regarding the metadata of a static image downloaded with the new Azure Map service. As you know, using Bing service it was possible to download an aerial image using an URL like this:
Also, to get metadata of downloaded image, the URL was like:
I'm wondering first, how should look in Azure Map the new URL syntax for downloading image (as png).
And the second question is: How can I find the corners of downloaded image. Is there any similar way like in Bing, by using a similar REST service?
Thank you.

It sounds like you're looking to get specific corner coordinates from a static image you downloaded using Azure Maps. Here’s how you can tackle this:
- URL Syntax for Azure Maps: To retrieve a static image from Azure Maps, you would use the
Get Map Static ImageAPI. The syntax would look something like this:
For example:https://atlas.microsoft.com/map/static/png?subscription-key={YourSubscriptionKey}&api-version=1.0¢er={longitude},{latitude}&zoom={zoomLevel}&size={width},{height}&layer={mapLayer}&mapMetadata=1
You would need to replacehttps://atlas.microsoft.com/map/static/png?subscription-key=YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY&api-version=1.0¢er=26.2183,44.8035&zoom=18&size=1500,1500&layer=basic&mapMetadata=1YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEYwith your actual Azure Maps subscription key. - Finding Corner Coordinates: The
mapMetadataparameter set to1will give you metadata about the static map, which includes the absolute (latitude and longitude) coordinates, as well as the information you need to determine the corners of the downloaded image. When you send a request withmapMetadata=1, you’ll receive a JSON response that includes the details like the image's bounding box or the coordinates of the corners. You can then use these coordinates to map the corners of the generated image.
Hope this helps!

I succedeed to download the aerial image using an URL like:
I kindly ask you to show me the URL I need to tackle in order to receive the JSON response for the image I download with the syntax above. Even if I use at the end the parameter &mapMetadata=1 the JSON response don't show up.
Thank you.
