Smart map integration with Bing Maps
Important
Bing Maps Basic (the free version) expired June 30, 2025 and Bing Maps Enterprise is expected to expire June 28, 2028, with Microsoft recommending Bing Maps users to migrate to Azure Maps.
Important
Azure Maps is currently not supported in Milestone XProtect.
To embed Bing Maps into your smart map, you need a Bing Maps Enterprise license and API key which must be purchased from Microsoft.
Once you have the API key, you must enter it in XProtect Management Client. See Enable Bing Maps or Google Maps.
Note
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.
Alternative to Bing Maps
Milestone recommends using OpenStreetMap with Milestone Map Service as an alternative to Bing Maps, see Smart map.
