Announcing Bing Maps for Enterprise Platform End of Life

Question

Inside our power apps canvas application, we are using this Bing maps' GetRouteV2(), as follow, to get the distance between the login user and the asset coordination:-

Set(d, BingMaps.GetRouteV2(
                    (relatedAsset.Latitude & ", " & relatedAsset.Longitude),
                    (Location.Latitude & ", " & Location.Longitude)
                ).travelDistance);

now we received this email today from Microsoft about "Bing Maps for Enterprise Platform End of Life",

so what we need to do? do we need to change the code? or it is just purchasing new license, so the code will stay working as-is?Thanks

Answer 1

Hello, thanks for reaching out. I'm Ace, one of the Independent Advisors. I can understand your concern and please don't worry I am here to help you.

Since Bing Maps for Enterprise is being retired, you will need to update your code to use Azure Maps instead of Bing Maps. Purchasing a new license will not keep your current implementation working indefinitely, as Microsoft is phasing out Bing Maps for Enterprise services.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks!

Answer 2

Hello John,

Please edit your code to migrate this call to the latest Azure Maps version as recommended in the two emails you have received. The one you show is the second of two emails sent about 1 year apart.
