Never been more frustrated with MS as I am now. I am an adminstrator for Sharpoint Online with full control. I have developed a list, have geolocation as part of the list and have created a map view of the list as you see below. The map states my credentials are invalid and need to sign-up for a developer account at Bing Maps. I have done this and have a key for Bing Maps. However, I have not found any place in Sharepoint where I can add the credentials so I can view the map. Honestly, I am learning how to develop Sharepoint, but I am finding it to be extremely tedious and lacking appropriate guidance. Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

Thanks Christopher... a couple questions... I thought with Sharepoint Online this capability was already included??? See the article at this link... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/how-to-add-a-geolocation-column-to-a-list-programmatically-in-sharepoint ... "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!

Download is here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588Articles how to connect and use here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspxThen 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.

Are you linking out to the maps? Have you tried using the new Powerapps feature instead and integrating the map directly into the form instead?

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.

correction... this page does offer some instructions...https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/create-a-map-view-for-the-geolocation-field-in-sharepointBut, it does not provide any information where or how to enter bing maps key information to enable the maps. Thanks.

Does anybody has an idea on how to really enter the Bing Key in Sharepoint Online? Why is it so complicated, Microsoft?

  Hi Adi, great work so far! did you tried a modern page site layout, a new page as Source for your list? There is a Webportal for bing to show your bing data. Happy new year! Eva

    Hi Eva, thanks. Are you talking about the simple Modern Page Bing Map? Can't find any "Webportal" there...
    I'm searching to use the List Map View (multiple locations on a single map).
    Therefore Sharepoint still shows the Message: "Bing Code missing"...
