Hello there,

Question for a Bing Map guru.

I would like to add a function to my app. I want to take advantage of my phone GPS and show my current location, and at the same time based in a list of values that came from a collection plot those locations in the same map. Something like "Customers around me"

Is this possible?

No worries for the blue line, I am only interested in see the locations around me from my collection.

And also no worries for the static map. I think that I can control the map size with an slider.

Thanks in advance for point me in the right direction.

Regards

@sajarac before you get started with Bing Maps just wanted to confirm that you have an API Key.

@sajarac For sure I'm not a Bing Map guru. To the best of my knowledge, the Bing Connector allows only one push pin. But you can do a workaround (a bit of work, I would say). First you'll need the iFrame PCF component. Please look at this video from April, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reWFYrON_rE
Once you have the iFrame, you can pull Bing Map into it using the following URL (an example),
https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Map/AerialWithLabels?pp=40.804000,-74.464460;;1&pp=40.815180,-74.219250;;2&pp=40.881210,-74.168020;;3&pp=40.810830,-74.260250;;4&pp=40.851800,-74.299900;;5&key={BingMapsAPIKey}
where ;;numberpp= are the various pin points with their longi and lati values.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sajarac,

Yes, this can be implemented using a geo-mapping app within Dynamics 365 CRM. The app can use the device’s GPS coordinates to identify the current location and display nearby records—such as accounts or contacts—based on proximity. This is typically handled through a built-in radius or proximity search feature, which supports configurable distance parameters and entity filters.

Additionally, location-based overlays such as Search Nearby Locations—e.g., ATMs, fuel stations, or restaurants—can be displayed alongside CRM records to provide contextual awareness. These features support interactive map rendering and can be embedded within the app, allowing users to adjust filters, map viewports, and other UI components without leaving the Dynamics 365 interface.

Thanks!
