Bing Map not plotting correctly

[awangCF]

I'm plotting an address in Texas, however Bing maps it to New York. Any idea why this is so? It maps correctly on ESRI, but I need to use Bing in this visual.

The address is "127 E I-20 Hwy, Arlington, TX, United States, 76018"

Hey,

this is weird, if i use the address you provided

with the data category set to "address"

it doesn't show on bing, but on esri

with the data category set to "place"

it shows correct on both

If you change the order of the address components into a "hierarchical order" like so:

United States, TX, Arlington, 76018, 127 E I-20 Hwy
with the data category "Address"
It also shows correct on Bing (left Bing, right esri)

Personally, I always try to provide the full hierarch of an address in this way:

Country, State, City, Zip, Street

Here is a link to a post that explains how certain issues with the correct mapping can be overcome:

Maybe this Whitepaper that is available also provides some additional information, at least it's a great read:

Hopefully this will help to answer your question!
