Saving bing API map Iimage to dataverse

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hello everyone, can you advise me on this? It's my first time working with Power Apps. I created a map using the Bing API, using an image that references my geolocation. How can I save it in a column of a Dataverse table? I was using the "Patch" function, but it doesn't seem to save. Do I need to give it a PNG or JPG format? 

 

Patch(
Map;
Defaults(Map);
{

Map: Image1_1
}
)

 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could also recommend a place to learn Power Apps effectively because I've been having some trouble understanding how to perform various actions. Thank you.

    Hi @Night_wi ,

     

    I've made a test for your reference:

    3\Insert a flow into the app

    4\Add a button and set it's OnSelect property to:

    'FlowName'.Run(Image1.Image)

    Result:

    Best Regards,

    Bof

    Why would you want to "save" it to Dataverse? It is much easier to save the coordinates, then open a bing map and display those coordinates in an IFrame or a PCF.

     

    Here are three examples of ways to show an interactive map instead of just a static image. This is probably what you're really looking for:

    Configure the map component in a model-driven app with Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

    Displaying a Map using an Image Control in PowerApps and Bing Maps or Google Maps API | Microsoft Power Apps

    IFRAME component - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
