    RE: Bing Map on custom entity based on geo coordinates

    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.
