Migrating from Bing Maps to Azure Maps Power BI

Since last month, it’s no longer possible to create new Bing Maps visuals in Power BI.
👉 This visual has been replaced by Azure Maps, which is more modern and fully integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem.

🔄 Simple and quick migration

Migrating from Bing Maps to Azure Maps is straightforward:
➡️ Just click “Upgrade” directly in your existing visual.

No worries about billing 💰
➡️ Azure Maps is included with your Power BI license, at no additional cost.

⚙️ Things to check after conversion

  • Bubble sizes may differ slightly between Bing Maps and Azure Maps (some may appear smaller).

  • Make sure to adjust your visuals to maintain the same look and feel.

  • Verify that Azure Maps tenant settings are enabled in your Power BI Admin portal.

  • Published reports are created using Power BI Desktop or Power BI Report Builder.
    Therefore, any mapping update or transition — such as migrating from Bing Maps to Azure Maps — will impact these existing reports.
