Is it possible to go back to the old version of Bing Maps?

Question

Is it possible to go back to the old version of Bing Maps?

Matthew Limardi 25

We're a company that delivers medication all over our region. We've used Bing Maps for years now because it was by far the best mapping website to fit our needs. The recent changes to BETA have made it extremely difficult to continue the use of the website. It is possible for us to get back to the old version? Also to expand, if it is possible to do that, would it be possible to expand the ability to add 25 destinations to more than that?

Just because the higher ups have NOTHING ELSE TO DO, but fiddle with things, WHY SHOULD MILLIONS OF USERS OF BING MAPS BE INCONVENIENCED, For pity’s sake stop making it so hard to use the BETTER OLD SYSTEM..

Hi @carol WILLMENT

There are any number of reasons features are removed but you can still plan a trip with multiple stops in the latest Bing Maps. In fact we have a number of companies that use our custom URL experience to plan trips. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/articles/create-a-custom-map-url My Places was deprecated but there are other ways you can still accomplish what you need.

Sincerely,

Please use the feedback button on the Bing.com/map site in order to contact the team that owns the Bing Maps experience. They do not have a forum so that is the only method to contact them.

Unfortunately the exit beta anymore. And despite protests that this is some kind of improvement it clearly has become pretty much unworkable for what many like me were using it for... making decent sized full routes and being able to tinker with them.
And the fact you can still do some minor programming to make one that works for you each time isn't really helpful for something you just needed to work. At that point might as well just use a paper map it'd be faster.
And I can attest to after sending literally hundreds of feedback requests they respond to absolutely zero and don't address the issues including mislabeling things on the map or taking you to the wrong location
At this point since bing seems just set on making it unusable for someone that just wants make routes might want suggestions on some program that actually works for that

I found the button next to Search in Bing maps -> My places. When you hover your mouse over it, you get the option for "Go to Bing Maps Classic". Hope this helps.

Thank you for this! This worked for me. This was driving me crazy not being able to find an opt out button.

Why change it when it works SO well.

We hate change for changes sake

Hi there, I appreciate you reaching out and I understand how important it is for your team to have a reliable mapping tool that supports your delivery operations smoothly. I can see how the recent changes to Bing Maps might be affecting your workflow. The issue you're experiencing stems from Bing Maps Consumer Experience transitioning to a new Beta version, which is different than Microsoft’s move toward replacing Bing Maps for Enterprise with Azure Maps for Developers. This update has changed the interface for Consumers and some experiences, including route planning and layout behavior, which may not yet match the flexibility of the previous version. To help with the Consumer experience, Bing.com/maps, I recommend checking if there's an “Exit Beta” option at the bottom of the Bing Maps page, clicking that may return you to the classic version. If that’s not visible, try accessing Bing Maps in a different browser or incognito mode, and clear your cookies for Bing.com. These steps have worked for some users to temporarily revert to the older experience. Just to clarify a bit, are you accessing Bing Maps through a personal account or a business/enterprise setup? Also, how many destinations do you typically need to include in a single route? You are focusing on the Consumer Beta but are you actually writing code? Let me know what you see on your end after trying those steps, and I’ll guide you further based on that.

The 25 destinations in the previous version sufficed most of the time for us, but if we were capable going to 40, we'd be in perfect condition. We use the maps on regular web pages on laptops in our business, but they're not logged into any kind of business account

@Matthew Limardi Can you clarify exactly how you are leveraging Bing Maps? If you are not calling an API but rather are using the "My Places" collection, that is indeed going away but Developer can definitely get more than 25 stops in Azure Maps so understanding your use case better will allow us to offer you some options.

I managed to find a way to exit the beta and revert to the classic version, as one of my colleagues suggested. The problem with the extension is that it doesn't work in the beta version. Thanks

@Coobra Contabilidade e Cobrança The Beta will be going fully live soon and the opt out will be gone. I recommend you connect with the creator of your plug in / extension as it will need to be updated if it is using a deprecated part of Bing Maps consumer experience.

I deliverpatients to and from their appointments, doing approx 250-350 miles per day..

I'm disgusted I have been FORCED to use a different , system which is useless. I input all my journeys, but it won't complete.. A total waste of my time. At 80 years old, I can do without all the extra hassle.

Hi Carol,

If you enter the first address then go into driving directions, then you can add more to build your route.

The feature that I used quite a bit was the ability to highlight multiple communities at one time. Additionally, I could increasingly darken each community's highlighted area by subsequently clicking on it. That feature is gone and only one community can highlighted at a time now. Is this feature gone forever or is there another way of accomplishing this?

@JP This is not a feature of Bing.com/maps. I have been on the product team for 8+ years so I can confirm that I have never seen that on the consumer site for Bing Experiences. Can you provide more detail? Are you asking about Power BI Maps maybe? Or Maps in Excel? Both of those can show shaded regions.

The maps are awful without our lists and the classic version. Practically, useless. Years of work nowhere to be visible to us who made it. I payed for nothing. Total loss.
