Report a data issue

Question

There are two ways to report issues with the geocoding data in Bing Maps. They are as follows:

• Go to http://bing.com/maps and click on the feedback or Report a Problem button in the bottom right hand corner of the page and submit your issue.

• If you are an enterprise customer then contact the Bing Maps Enterprise support team and they can pass this on to the data team.

Answer 1

Bing UK OS maps (Explorer & Landranger) appear to be very much out of date (they appear to be pre 2015). Are there any plans to update these?

Answer 2

Hi Andy,

Bing Maps gets its data from various sources so can't really give dates for any specific regional updates.  If you do notice an issue, please do report it as suggested above.

Sincerely,

Answer 3

I asked the question:

"Bing UK OS maps (Explorer & Landranger) appear to be very much out of date (they appear to be pre 2015). Are there any plans to update these?"
To which I got the following response:
"Bing Maps gets its data from various sources so can't really give dates for any specific regional updates.  If you do notice an issue, please do report it as suggested above."

However, the source (osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk) has up to date maps available, it is just that Bing is not using them yet. Why not?

Hi Andy,

This is the MSDN Developer Forum and not in charge of any OS or Data updates to any products.  However, the route you were given to provide feedback is the correct place to get such questions addressed.

Answer 6

Hello,

While working with one of our customers we ran across many address in his service area that are not showing up where they actually are. Here is an example :

2871 Crosscreek Dr, Oologah, OK 74053

Using my web browser, Google maps this to 2871 Cross Creek Dr, Oologah, OK 74053. 

Bing maps that address a few streets to the south, E Creek Dr, Oologah, OK 74053.

When I use another website to convert the address to geocode, Bing shows the correct location but gives it the wrong street name, 2660 Elkhorn Dr, Oologah, OK 74053, US

Any thoughts on how to get this resolved? both the customer and my compnay are growing frustrated. If it was just one address we could live with that but this is about half of the address in his service area.

Answer 8

You have the wrong location for the hotel on Bing Maps. You show it by the National Theater Cairo and the Post office. It is next to Terminal 2 inn the airport, linked by a sky bridge. I had a travel agent telling me I had to book transportation based on your date. Not true.

Answer 9

Hi SGFood,

This is not the correct location to report Data Issues. Please follow the steps in the original post on this thread to report your issue in Cairo and it will be passed to the correct data provider.

Answer 11

Hi Jim,

I can't speak to the timing of your specific location but Bing Maps is constantly receiving updated data from our third party providers. I have looked at the location https://binged.it/2LRnJju and see there should be an extension to Lohman Road called Fillmore Drive but don't see Brant Place.  Can you please report that using the method given above?

Sincerely,

IoTGirl

UPDATE: The roads around Filmore Dr should appear in the January 21st update.  I assume that includes Brant Place.

Answer 12

In Amatrice, Italy (geographical coordinates 42.6637925, 13.2818079). The official name of the hamlet is Rio. Geographical coordinates of Villa San Lorenzo a Flaviano are 42.664732,13.2850508.

Please, fix this. This is most important for post earthquake reconstruction. I can help when looking for information to demonstrate these errors, please visit Amatrice website https://www.comune.amatrice.rieti.it/perimetrazioni/ or Regione Lazio website.

Thank you for attention

Answer 16

When a user searches 'Leicestershire, England' into bing maps, the map finds Leicestershire but it does not find a centered position in the county but instead the coordinates locates near to the border of Leicestershire. 

Answer 17

For the webapp we are trying to create we are integrating Bing maps for search criteria but users entering county names such as 'Leicestershire' will not find an accurate representation of distance from their county or areas within the county based on these search results.

Answer 18

Please use the feedback option within the application.

Answer 19

Please add Rio (Amatrice's hamlet) (https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.6642&mlon=13.2893#map=16/42.6642/13.2893). It's most important. Thank you.

Aeriall View is correct, where location should be on the right side of river.

Answer 21

Answer 25

Hello, when using bing maps i usually look at my home town area first and when i do there is this green overlay everywhere covering the image of the town/county here is where it can be found.Any way that this can be fixed or is it impossible to fix?

41.314827, -75.762280

Answer 26

Hello Aiden,

If I'm not mistaken, you're looking at Aerial view? There are some clouds in the image near this location. While it's difficult to source cloud-free imagery everywhere, we're always trying to improve the quality of the imagery we provide on Bing, and we do track and prioritize areas where Bing Maps users have reported clouds. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks,
Grayson Myers

Answer 29

Hi,

I recently went to check bing maps to view the city of Lahore, Pakistan (aerial view) but I found out that the city map has not been updated in over 5 years. The city is not considered as a rural city but among the most urban cities of Pakistan with a lot of development in these past years. The city is still being shown as it was 5 years ago and compared to Google Maps (sorry), it is way behind. I checked it because of the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator to see how updated the city would be

Also, the airport in Islamabad (the newly built one) is the largest airport of Pakistan and still is not updated in the maps. It is still visible as under construction
