    Hi @bic_services ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to plot multiple locations on a map based on addresses rather than lat and long value through Bing Maps API in your app?

     

    There is an known issue with Bing Maps API within PowerApps app -- we could not get a static map based on Location Address using Bing Maps Static API, instead, we need to provide a specific Latitude value and Longitude value of a location Address to get a static map.

     

    As an alternative solution, you could consider get the corresponding Latitude value and Longitude value of your specific location address using Bing Maps connector (BingMaps.GetLocationByAddress() function). And then use the retrieved Latitude value and Longitude value within the Bing Maps Static API URL Link.

     

    Please check and see if the solution I provided within the following thread would help in your scenario:

    If you want to plot multiple locations on a map, I thtink the Concat function could achieve your needs. Please consider set the Image property of the Image control to following:

    "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/AerialWithLabels?" & 
    Concat(
     ExcelTable,
     "pp=" & BingMaps.GetLocationByAddress({addressLine: Address & ", " & City}).point.coordinates.latitude & "," & BingMaps.GetLocationByAddress({addressLine: Address & ", " & City}).point.coordinates.longitude & ";21;" & City & "&"
    ) & "key=" & txtBingMapsKey.Text
    

    Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

     

    More details about plotting multiple locations on a map through Bing Maps API, please check the following article:
