Bing Maps for Enterprise service retirement

Bing Maps for Enterprise is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps for Enterprise services until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps for Enterprise services until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps for Enterprise REST APIs and SDKs will need to be updated to use Azure Maps by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

To start developing with Bing Maps, choose the API(s) that is most appropriate for your platform and needs.

Bing Maps APIs

API Description
Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS The Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS lets developers integrate a fully featured map control into mobile applications.
Bing Maps V8 Web Control The Bing Maps V8 Web Control is the latest Bing Maps JavaScript API. Combine the AJAX map control with the Bing Maps REST Services and the Bing Spatial Data Services to create powerful Web sites and mobile applications with the latest imagery and location functionality. An interactive SDK for Bing Maps V8 is at https://www.bing.com/api/maps/sdk/mapcontrol/isdk.
Bing Maps in Windows UWP Bing Maps is built into the Windows UWP developer APIs. See the Windows documentation for more information
Bing Maps REST Services The Bing Maps REST Services uses REST URLs to perform tasks such as creating a map with pushpins, geocoding an address, retrieving imagery metadata or calculating a route.
Bing Spatial Data Services The Bing Spatial Data Services uses REST URLs to geocode and reverse-geocode large sets of spatial data and to create and query data sources. A data source contains sets of data for a user-defined entity type that has a spatial component. For example you can create a data source for a set of stores and then query this data source to find stores near a location.
Bing Maps WPF Control The Bing Maps WPF Control SDK lets developers integrate Bing Maps into rich Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications. Using a software + services approach, the Bing Maps WPF Control retrieves the latest Bing Maps imagery for your WPF application using Bing’s cloud-based architecture. The Bing Maps WPF Control SDK also supports Microsoft Surface touch interface for creating rich touch-enabled applications.

To start using the Bing Maps WPF Control, download the Bing Maps Windows Presentation Foundation Control SDK.
