Smart map integration with Bing Maps (explained)

To embed Bing Maps into your smart map, you need a Basic Key or an Enterprise Key. The difference is that basic keys are free, but allow a limited number of transactions before the transactions become billable or access to the map service is denied. The enterprise key is not free, but allow an unrestricted number of transactions.

For more information about Bing Maps, see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/licensing/.

Once you have the API key, you must enter it in XProtect Management Client. See Enable Bing Maps or Google Maps in Management Client.

If you are behind a restrictive firewall, allowing access to the used domains is important. You may need to allow for outgoing traffic for Bing maps using *.virtualearth.net on each machine on which the Smart Client is running.
