Properties

bbox

A bounding box is defined by two latitudes and two longitudes that represent the four sides of a rectangular area on the Earth. Format : 'minLon, minLat, maxLon, maxLat' (in double).

Note: Either bbox or center are required parameters. They are mutually exclusive. bbox shouldn’t be used with height or width.

The maximum and minimum allowed ranges for Lat and Lon are defined for each zoom level in the table at the top of this page.
center

Coordinates of the center point in double. Format: 'lon,lat'. Longitude range: -180 to 180. Latitude range: -90 to 90.

Note: Either center or bbox are required parameters. They are mutually exclusive.
height

Height of the resulting image in pixels. Range from 80 to 1500. Default is 512. It shouldn’t be used with bbox.
language

Language in which search results should be returned. Should be one of supported IETF language tags, case insensitive. When data in specified language is not available for a specific field, default language is used.

Please refer to Supported Languages for details.
path

Path style and locations (in double). Use this parameter to optionally add lines, polygons or circles to the image. The path style describes the appearance of the line and fill. (Be sure to properly URL-encode values of this parameter since it will contain reserved characters such as pipes and punctuation.)

Path parameter is supported in Azure Maps account SKU starting with S1. Multiple instances of the path parameter allow to specify multiple geometries with their styles. Number of parameters per request is limited to 10 and number of locations is limited to 100 per path.

To render a circle with radius 100 meters and center point at latitude 45°N and longitude 122°W using the default style, add the querystring parameter

path=ra100||-122 45

Note that the longitude comes before the latitude. After URL encoding this will look like

path=ra100%7C%7C-122+45

All of the examples here show the path parameter without URL encoding, for clarity.

To render a line, separate each location with a pipe character. For example, use

path=||-122 45|-119.5 43.2|-121.67 47.12

A polygon is specified with a closed path, where the first and last points are equal. For example, use

path=||-122 45|-119.5 43.2|-121.67 47.12|-122 45

Longitude value for locations of lines and polygons can be in the range from -360 to 360 to allow for rendering of geometries crossing the anti-meridian.

Style Modifiers

You can modify the appearance of the path by adding style modifiers. These are added before the locations. Style modifiers each have a two-letter name. These abbreviated names are used to help reduce the length of the URL.

To change the color of the outline, use the 'lc' style modifier and specify the color using the HTML/CSS RGB color format which is a six-digit hexadecimal number (the three-digit form is not supported). For example, to use a deep pink color which you would specify as #FF1493 in CSS, use

path=lcFF1493||-122 45|-119.5 43.2

Multiple style modifiers may be combined to create a more complex visual style.

lc0000FF|lw3|la0.60|fa0.50||-122.2 47.6|-122.2 47.7|-122.3 47.7|-122.3 47.6|-122.2 47.6

Style Modifier Summary

Modifier Description Type Range
lc Line color string 000000 to FFFFFF
fc Fill color string 000000 to FFFFFF
la Line alpha (opacity) float 0 to 1
fa Fill alpha (opacity) float 0 to 1
lw Line width int32 (0, 50]
ra Circle radius (meters) float Greater than 0
pins

Pushpin style and instances. Use this parameter to optionally add pushpins to the image. The pushpin style describes the appearance of the pushpins, and the instances specify the coordinates of the pushpins (in double) and optional labels for each pin. (Be sure to properly URL-encode values of this parameter since it will contain reserved characters such as pipes and punctuation.)

The Azure Maps account S0 SKU only supports a single instance of the pins parameter and the number of locations is limited to 5 per pin. Other SKUs allow up to 25 instances of the pins parameter to specify multiple pin styles, and the number of locations is limited to 50 per pin.

To render a pushpin at latitude 45°N and longitude 122°W using the default built-in pushpin style, add the querystring parameter

pins=default||-122 45

Note that the longitude comes before the latitude. After URL encoding this will look like

pins=default%7C%7C-122+45

All of the examples here show the pins parameter without URL encoding, for clarity.

To render a pin at multiple locations, separate each location with a pipe character. For example, use

pins=default||-122 45|-119.5 43.2|-121.67 47.12

The S0 Azure Maps account SKU only allows five pushpins. Other account SKUs do not have this limitation.

Style Modifiers

You can modify the appearance of the pins by adding style modifiers. These are added after the style but before the locations and labels. Style modifiers each have a two-letter name. These abbreviated names are used to help reduce the length of the URL.

To change the color of the pushpin, use the 'co' style modifier and specify the color using the HTML/CSS RGB color format which is a six-digit hexadecimal number (the three-digit form is not supported). For example, to use a deep pink color which you would specify as #FF1493 in CSS, use

pins=default|coFF1493||-122 45

Pushpin Labels

To add a label to the pins, put the label in single quotes just before the coordinates. Avoid using special character such as | or || in label. For example, to label three pins with the values '1', '2', and '3', use

pins=default||'1'-122 45|'2'-119.5 43.2|'3'-121.67 47.12

There is a built-in pushpin style called 'none' that does not display a pushpin image. You can use this if you want to display labels without any pin image. For example,

pins=none||'A'-122 45|'B'-119.5 43.2

To change the color of the pushpin labels, use the 'lc' label color style modifier. For example, to use pink pushpins with black labels, use

pins=default|coFF1493|lc000000||-122 45

To change the size of the labels, use the 'ls' label size style modifier. The label size represents the approximate height of the label text in pixels. For example, to increase the label size to 12, use

pins=default|ls12||'A'-122 45|'B'-119 43

The labels are centered at the pushpin 'label anchor.' The anchor location is predefined for built-in pushpins and is at the top center of custom pushpins (see below). To override the label anchor, using the 'la' style modifier and provide X and Y pixel coordinates for the anchor. These coordinates are relative to the top left corner of the pushpin image. Positive X values move the anchor to the right, and positive Y values move the anchor down. For example, to position the label anchor 10 pixels right and 4 pixels above the top left corner of the pushpin image, use

pins=default|la10 -4||'A'-122 45|'B'-119 43

Custom Pushpins

To use a custom pushpin image, use the word 'custom' as the pin style name, and then specify a URL after the location and label information. The maximum allowed size for a customized label image is 65,536 pixels. Use two pipe characters to indicate that you're done specifying locations and are starting the URL. For example,

pins=custom||-122 45||http://contoso.com/pushpins/red.png

After URL encoding, this would look like

pins=custom%7C%7C-122+45%7C%7Chttp%3A%2F%2Fcontoso.com%2Fpushpins%2Fred.png

By default, custom pushpin images are drawn centered at the pin coordinates. This usually isn't ideal as it obscures the location that you're trying to highlight. To override the anchor location of the pin image, use the 'an' style modifier. This uses the same format as the 'la' label anchor style modifier. For example, if your custom pin image has the tip of the pin at the top left corner of the image, you can set the anchor to that spot by using

pins=custom|an0 0||-122 45||http://contoso.com/pushpins/red.png

Note: If you use the 'co' color modifier with a custom pushpin image, the specified color will replace the RGB channels of the pixels in the image but will leave the alpha (opacity) channel unchanged. This would usually only be done with a solid-color custom image.

Scale, Rotation, and Opacity

You can make pushpins and their labels larger or smaller by using the 'sc' scale style modifier. This is a value greater than zero. A value of 1 is the standard scale. Values larger than 1 will make the pins larger, and values smaller than 1 will make them smaller. For example, to draw the pushpins 50% larger than normal, use

pins=default|sc1.5||-122 45

You can rotate pushpins and their labels by using the 'ro' rotation style modifier. This is a number of degrees of clockwise rotation. Use a negative number to rotate counter-clockwise. For example, to rotate the pushpins 90 degrees clockwise and double their size, use

pins=default|ro90|sc2||-122 45

You can make pushpins and their labels partially transparent by specifying the 'al' alpha style modifier. This is a number between 0 and 1 indicating the opacity of the pushpins. Zero makes them completely transparent (and not visible) and 1 makes them completely opaque (which is the default). For example, to make pushpins and their labels only 67% opaque, use

pins=default|al.67||-122 45

Style Modifier Summary

Modifier Description Type Range
al Alpha (opacity) float 0 to 1
an Pin anchor <int32, int32> *

  • X and Y coordinates can be anywhere within pin image or a margin around it. The margin size is the minimum of the pin width and height.
tilesetId

Map style to be returned. Possible values are microsoft.base.road, microsoft.base.darkgrey, and microsoft.imagery. Default value is set to be microsoft.base.road. For more information, see Render TilesetId.
trafficLayer

Optional Value, indicating no traffic flow overlaid on the image result. Possible values are microsoft.traffic.relative.main and none. Default value is none, indicating no traffic flow returned. If traffic related tilesetId is provided, will return map image with corresponding traffic layer. For more information, see Render TilesetId.
view

The View parameter (also called the "user region" parameter) allows you to show the correct maps for a certain country/region for geopolitically disputed regions. Different countries/regions have different views of such regions, and the View parameter allows your application to comply with the view required by the country/region your application will be serving. By default, the View parameter is set to “Unified” even if you haven’t defined it in the request. It is your responsibility to determine the location of your users, and then set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you have the option to set ‘View=Auto’, which will return the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding mapping, of the country/region where maps, images and other data and third party content that you are authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available. Example: view=IN.

Please refer to Supported Views for details and to see the available Views.

path

Path style and locations (in double). Use this parameter to optionally add lines, polygons or circles to the image. The path style describes the appearance of the line and fill. (Be sure to properly URL-encode values of this parameter since it will contain reserved characters such as pipes and punctuation.)

Path parameter is supported in Azure Maps account SKU starting with S1. Multiple instances of the path parameter allow to specify multiple geometries with their styles. Number of parameters per request is limited to 10 and number of locations is limited to 100 per path.

To render a circle with radius 100 meters and center point at latitude 45°N and longitude 122°W using the default style, add the querystring parameter
