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.
Map styling can be applied to a variety of Microsoft map controls:
- The Bing Maps web control using the customMapStyle option.
- The Static web map control
- The Windows map control using the MapStyleSheet.ParseFromJson method.
- The Android or iOS map control using the MapStyleSheet class.
The point at which a particular entry or property is supported on each map control can be tracked using the style version.
Map style sheets can be created interactively using the Map Style Sheet Editor application. The editor will inform you of what is supported.
This table shows the minimum version of each control that supports each style version.
