Bing Map on custom entity based on geo coordinates

Posted on by 25

Hi,

I have a custom entity, where I am importing external data. The external system provides geo coordinates for the objects, which I am storing in an appropriate. I am keen to know if I can use display bing map on the form based on the geo coordinates.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Best

    The Dynamics CRM itself provides this functionality of adding an Entity record on a map. 

    Step 1: Enabling Bing Maps

    Step 2: Plotting records

    Step 3: Import the package of MappyField 365 and install it.

    Step 4: Navigate to “MappyField” from the apps menu.

    Step 5: Click on Entity Mappings

    Step 6: Get Geocodes for entity records

    → To get geocode for records redirected to a particular entity. If you want to get geocode only for selected records, select those records and click on the “Get Geocode” button.

    → If you want to get geocode for all the records, click on the “Get Geocode” button. It will ask you for confirmation to get a geocode for all the records for the selected entity.

    You can use the location intelligence tool Maplytics. Maplytics uses Bing maps to plot the Dynamics 365 entity(OOB/custom) records on maps as pushpins based on the its geo-coordinates. It also helps to geocode the non-geocoded records. Please refer to the video and help files to know more.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I work on documentation. I haven't reached the Form Map control so you can start playing with it and ask questions as you go - github.com/.../wiki

    Hello,

    Is it the latest online? If yes, you can use FormMap control from my PCF Controls toolkit - github.com/.../1.0.0.4
