They are the company that provides the imagery to us, but we do not have the rights to allow for derivatives like you describe (Per our TOU https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/bing-maps/product). For future technical questions, please use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags/209/azure-mapsRe: Azure maps - embedding iframe Bill_Rankin975 If you are using Power BI or Fabric as your embedding platform, you will need to work with them for details on the traffic that is allowed through the iframe. If you are not using Power BI or Fabric, you will need to ensure the iframe you are using has the ability to reach the Azure Maps endpoints or the map will never render as it can't get the data. In future, please direct technical questions to the Q&A forums Azure Maps - Microsoft Q&A and you might find someone has already posted the same question there already. Re: Im in the EEA with the DMA rules and the start menu is still giving bing resultsYou do have the choice to remove it from the Windows built-In Search either through settings or editing the registry https://www.bing.com/search?q=disablesearchboxsuggestions I turned it off because it ate up too much of my bandwidth and I found it distracting when they animated it. Re: Major annoyance - BING converts search links to BING.COM redirect links.Hi Tom, This bugs me too so I use the second line with the direct text. For feedback directly to the team, hit the feedback button in the search UI and highlight the issue directly so they can reproduce it.

They should be aware of why their tools don't like your site.

The Azure Cognitive team also supports Bing Result sets so I would start with them.Re: Im in the EEA with the DMA rules and the start menu is still giving bing resultsIf the computer is new, the manufacturer customizes the OS and should be able to assist you in tuning the OS.

You can see from the sample I provided that I chose "Problem with the address" and "Postal Code". Why would you go out of your way to choose random values if there are good options available?Re: Images from a single Bing Image Creator collection are no longer displayedYou may need to ask Bing to create similar images again but without the biblical context due to mis-use of the service. If you feel you need further assistance please follow the guidance here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-report-a-concern-or-contact-bing-1831f0fe-3c4d-46ae-8e57-16c487715729 In future, if you have an image you like, I recommend grabbing a snip of it and keeping it in your own image collection.Re: Specific address search returns an address with two postal codes, one of which is wrong We do not have a method to accept such feedback through the forums. Please use the feedback link I provided above which has a free-form text box where you can enter any details you wish. Re: Specific address search returns an address with two postal codes, one of which is wrongPlease report data issues using our public feedback tool. We don't offer data support through these forum's posts.

At this point we recommend leveraging our Web control in all projects.Re: How Realtime is the Azure Satellite Imagery Service sadranyi Microsoft Maps imagery tiles are not anywhere near real time. To get great imagery it needs to be collected during the summer on clear days with cloudless skies. Once collected that imagery needs to be processed into tiles for different zoom levels and then blended into the tile set that covers the whole world. If you need time & dated imagery, I recommend reaching out to our imagery partner Vexcel, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics or other provider and sourcing that imagery you need directly.
