bing map api return wrong locality(city)

Posted on by henry-mcq-ch

Hi all,

I believe this is the Bing Map API issue and would like to seek your all advice:

I got the address input and have it generated the city and state output using Power Automate. However, as you can see the example output below, the city is supposed to be Abbotsford but it keeps always getting Melbourne, which is wrong. Please let me know your thought on this issue as I read thru this topicbing map api return wrong locality(city) but seems no help and solution

"address": {
 "addressLine": "601 Victoria St",
 "adminDistrict": "Victoria",
 "countryRegion": "Australia",
 "formattedAddress": "601 Victoria St, Abbotsford, Victoria 3067, Australia",
 "locality": "Melbourne",
 "postalCode": "3067"
}

not sure if i showed you the correct flow you're after. It just simple flow that when there is an item created in the SharePoint, it will create the file. As there is address data in the input, so I used Bing map API, the result is fine, however, only the city(locality) is detected as Melbourne(which is wrong) as previous comment.

P/s: I cannot use populate a word template flow as my company doesn't have it premium feature.

Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,
Thank you running a quick flow to check for me. I believe if we manually feed the data, it will get the result correctly. However, my aim is, when any raw input data, for example,
601 Victoria St, Abbotsford, Victoria 3067, Australia
it will automatically divide the address in certain field, which is likely correct with the address line, postal code, state, region, except the city. Therefore, I highly suspect about the correctness with Bing map api.
Thanks again,
Henry

Hi @henry-mcq-ch ,

Please check that the address you provided is correct, as both Google Maps and Bing Maps all show this address in Melbourne.

hi @v-bofeng-msft

thank you for your reply. Melbourne should only be considered in the postal code 3000, as the postal code has changed to 3067, the locality or city should be changed accordingly so that's why I highly believe that it could be naming issue in Bing map

Hi @henry-mcq-ch ,

I'm afraid it's not a bug in Bing Map, because no matter what map service I use, the address you provide is located in Melbourne. Please make sure you enter the correct address.

hi @v-bofeng-msft ,
thank you for taking time and effort and prompt response as well. It was not likely a bug but how data structured in Bing map. Is there any means I can reflect this issue or any other map API I could use alternatively?

Cheers,
