Hello,
Windows Maps is so amazing because of its amazing 3D View, Multitasking, Inking, smoothness, clean interface, and it's powered by Bing!
It would be great to have more report map errors options and see updates on my reports. I do see that Bing maps still guide through closed roads, that part is an issue. It shows closed int eh text but not the actual thing. It is taking traffic data from TomTom which says closed but it is not working. :(
Is there any news on bringing this to iOS? I notice in the Bing app there is a nice directions UI for the map but navigating just opens Apple Maps.
Thank you :)
Merry Christmas
Hi Shawn,
As developer you can add Bing Maps to your iOS projects by leveraging our SDK. To find out more, check out https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/mobile.
If you are not a developer, I recommend giving feedback in the Appstore against the app and asking this question there.

HI loTGirl,
I am not really a developer, but I wish to have a Bing navigation app for iOS, I did hear it is coming soon so I will just wait. I do wish to ask if there is any plans to make it easier to report issues like map errors and see status of the request.
Thank you : )
Merry Christmas!
Hi Shawn,
Is Microsoft Start available for your version iOS? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-start/id945416273 I believe that will likely be the app that gets our maps eventually.

Hi IoTGirl,
Yes, it has the maps on the app as well as Microsoft Bing on iOS with directions with preview, but I think navigation is next with offline maps integration too I think.
Yes, I have been noticing that they have Bing Maps as the "Near By" feature which allows you in the Bing & Starts App to see the local guide in a layout like GMaps, as well as see the poi the Map with traffic, aerial imagery.
Ability to see the POIS and click on them to see more info as well as directions, though there are directions with steps like Bing Online Maps there is no navigation UI.
There are traffic hazards shown on the map but no ability to click to find more info.
Believe this will be like the Google Maps on the web where it only shows maps with info and opens directly in the Bing maps app which is not ready yet.
It seems that according to the screenshots on the Apple App page that this is a beautiful interface, I really love the weather UI and stuff, probably be released in the Summertime along with the anniversary update of windows 11 with new maps app.
Anyways, you guys are working on it, I can see the progress that you are refining first the search and map experience to be more beautiful and amazing! Plus the Vexcel imagery is very good in the area I see on the map!
Way the go, hoping that this maps app will be a standalone app as well!

Bing maps have evolved so much that now infamous attractions there is a new layout which is so beautiful, as well as the way the map is organized, is much better now and better imagery from Vexcall Imagery!
That did a wonderful job, it's very nice with the new iconography, guess next is a Windows Maps redesign, though I still see a lot of duplicate or non-exist or permanently closed pois, is the team going to work with the Citys to make sure everything is up to date?
As I have seen hospitals that were in another city far away in my area, strange and duplicate gas stations. hmm
Really love the webcams, traffic integration that is so well done to show where a road works is as well as traffic incidents, no other map is as advanced and beautiful as Windows Maps!
Starting to notice that I am getting daily map updates now, yay!
Hi Shawn,
It would be great if you would give feedback in the App store as that feedback goes to the developers supporting the App. These forums are for Developers that are creating applications so are not a target for the internal Microsoft Application teams.
