Sharepoint Online and Bing Maps
I am not using Powerapps. I have added within a list a geolocation field and used script to populate the fields. Once this was done, from the list, I selected to create a new view... a Map View selection was offered. I selected the map view which you can see in the image I posted earlier. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that this embedded map view from MS would automatically pick up the geolocation data. Nevertheless, the view does not provide any further information or ability to enter my bing maps keys. Nor, can I find any help information on the map view online.

But, it does not provide any information where or how to enter bing maps key information to enable the maps. Thanks.
Check this article out. https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/How-to-add-a-Bing-Maps-Key-354e98faThanks Christopher... a couple questions... I thought with Sharepoint Online this capability was already included??? See the article at this link...

... "By default, this file is installed for SharePoint Online."
Secondly, I believe I need access to powershell to upload the script? I do not seem to have access. How do I access powershell and how to enable this script within Powershell?
Really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Then once connected I supposed follow the article previously, I've personally never done this :).
But it says the files are installed, not your key. You still have to supply a key to your site collection, and far as I can find this is the only way still via powershell setting that property on your site collection.
- And this as well,, with just simple powershell to do yourself. http://dannyjessee.com/blog/index.php/2013/05/set-the-bing-maps-api-key-in-office-365-using-csom-to-leverage-sharepoint-2013-geolocation-features/
