Bing Maps

Hi Evert,

Seem like a connection problem.

If change {BingMapsKey} in the following URL with you Bing key and paste it in a browser are you receiving some XML data?

 http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Imagery/Metadata/aerial?o=xml&incl=ImageryProviders&key={BingMapsKey}

If so does the XML data contains the following?

<AuthenticationResultCode>ValidCredentials</AuthenticationResultCode>

If not you seem to have a problem with your connection or your key.

HTH,

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,

Thanx for your reply.

I did what you asked and it seems to me that i get that sentence in the XML data

See this screendump:

So if that works, do you maybe have another solution?

Thanx for helping

Evert

Mathieu,

Just another thing, i checked the internet adres in the message center and the internet adres gives me an 404 error code..

See screendump message center for the bingmap URL:

So i think that Powerdraft is searching on the wrong internet adres, do you know where i can change that?

Many thanks

Evert

Hi Evert,

The URL in the message center is not the same as the one we are using internally (the URL in the message center is mostly used to link the raster to the error message).

Is that possible that you are accessing the internet using a Proxy server?

Thanks,

Mathieu

The environment variable and Bing Map key must be set for each application that you are going to use Bing Map. We are assuming that you are using the license key that you received from

Google.

Did you do the following

Open PowerDraft Connect 5

File > Settings > Configuration > Configuration Variables > New

Variable:          MS_RASTER_BINGMAP_KEY

New Value:     “Your Bing Map License Key”

Ok

Exit PowerDraft

Open PowerDraft

Attached are 2 wiki links about setting up Bing Map. If you would like you can file a Service Request and I will contact you.

Hi Mathieu,

I wil ask our ICT boys.

Thanx for your time
