Bing Maps is a geographic information and location intelligence solution, that when integrated as a data visualization dashboard for Microsoft Power BI, Excel, SharePoint and Dynamics software allows organizations to visualize multiple layers of business data on a map, such as sales, current customers and competitors. The ability to view data in this context reveals patterns and relationships, allowing businesses to better understand their opportunities and informs key business decisions at all organizational levels. Bing Maps for enterprise organizations allows the user to visualize, explore and analyze business data to better plan, optimize and monitor business processes and performance.

Bing Maps

Geographic Information Systems (or GIS) gather and store Earth-based spatial-temporal / location data for analysis, building maps, or for map-based applications and studies.

I use Bing Maps in several ways mostly as the aerial view to get a good look at the facilities and warehouses company drivers pick up and deliver to. This helps identify any obstacles in the roadways, whether or not the vehicle is traveling through residential areas or obstructions in the facility.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Close ups on the street 360 is very clear
The to and from for directions is very accurate
The features are very user-friendly

Things done well

Would like to see integration of more commercial vehicle features
A feature that gives toll prices in advance would be helpful
Weather alerts would be a good feature to include

Things done poorly

Bing Maps is well suited for preplanning loads, specifically in regards to checking the bird's eye and aerial view to see if the facility has enough area or room for overnight parking. And if overnight parking is available, what number of restaurants are within walking distance from the business in the area.

Most Important Features 3.4.21

Bing Maps helps prevent going in the wrong direction and has saved hundreds of dollars in towing expenses
Bing Maps allows drivers to get as close as possible to customers by seeing what areas can accommodate them in advance
Bing Maps cuts travels time and fatigue as well as increases efficiency

Return on Investment

Home Depot and Lowes are both in the same category and offer great products and services but each have something a little different the other doesn't offer or have. Likewise, Bing Maps is in the same category as Google Maps but offers a little something slightly different in the features.

Bing Maps is used for locating of sites for the various projects we work on. It is also used to obtain directions and the distance to travel to these sites across Africa. Using the aerial background backdrop and street views allow us to determine the layout of the site and and characteristics of the terrain and surrounding services, and what the land is like in a preliminary state before we go to the actual site. 

provides clear directions
street views allow preliminary identification of site layout and surrounding services
clear background aerial imagery

include more features
make it compatible with other data that can be imported

Bing Maps gives access to clear background aerial imagery. The imagery and street views are quite up to date which helps quite a bit. There should, however, be more features included on Bing Maps.

Aerial background imagery
Directions
Street Views
Preliminary map layouts

Makes preliminary identification of sites easy
Quick preliminary site layouts
Quick and easy to obtain directions

These products are very similar in nature. We do alternate between these software but as of recent Bing Maps has been used more often. The imagery is good and the product is easy to use.

I use Bing Maps to manage locations for our business addresses at Streitwise. This entails multiple locations we own and placing the property locations on the map for users that are visiting the property can see. This helps Bing users view our locations we own when traveling to the properties.

Location management
Navigation for end users
UX

Needs to be easier to claim businesses that don't have addresses we can access with mail
Easier experience managing multiple properties
More collaborative abilities with property managers

Bing Maps is essential for local SEO management and on-site marketing for those that own or manage property locations. This greatly enhances local marketers at the hyperlocal level manage their businesses more effectively and help customers find the business locations when using Bing Maps or Bings Search. This also helps those that have shifting business hours.

Managing locations
Hyperlocal SEO
Communicating business information to map users

More customers have seen our locations on Maps
Customers have called the phone numbers on our Maps pages
Bing Search has picked up on Bing Maps changes

Bings Maps is very similar to Google Maps. I like Bing Maps' 3d mapping ability over Google Maps and their Street View is just as good. I do like how Bing Maps attempts to communicate with us about upcoming holidays so that we can communicate business closures to end user customers or visitors.
