[mapguide-users] Bing Maps v6/7 API Deprecated – Error_Fusion_BingMapsMissingApiKey in MapGuide

[Nimrod Cnaan]

Hi all,

Just a heads-up for anyone still using Bing Maps as a background layer in
their MapGuide applications:

As from yesterday* the Bing Maps v6 and v7 APIs* by Microsoft versions are
no longer supported, and as a result, map tiles fail to load unless a valid
API key is provided using the newer endpoints.
What this means:

   -

   If you're using Fusion templates that rely on Bing Maps layers, and you
   see Error_Fusion_BingMapsMissingApiKey in the viewer or logs, it's
   likely due to this deprecation.
   -

   Fusion’s default configuration for Bing Maps may still refer to the
   older API structure, which no longer functions without updates.

Suggested Actions:

   1.

   *Update Your Fusion Widgets*: Make sure your BingMaps widget
   configuration is pointing to a supported Bing Maps API version.
   2.

   *Switch to Alternative Background Layers*: If you prefer not to deal
   with Bing Maps licensing, consider switching to OpenStreetMap or other tile
   providers (Stamen, Mapbox, etc.).

If anyone has already patched Fusion or MapGuide configurations to work
with the newer Azure Maps API or other tile providers, feel free to share
your approach with the list.

Hope this helps others avoid issuse!

Best regards,
Nimrod Cnaan
