Is there a help document on how to bring BING maps into Bentley Map SS4?

  • To Attach Bing Maps Layer

    Bing Maps feature must be activated. Go to Create a Bings Map key to obtain a key from Bring Map.

    Create a new configuration variable named "MS_RASTER_BINGMAP_KEY" and give it the value of your
    Bing Maps key. Example, "abcdefGhiJklmnop_qrstuvwXyz".

    Save the variable then close and reopen MicroStation.

    Go to File > Attach > Bing Maps… in the Raster Manager dialog box.
    The "Raster Attachments Options" dialog opens.
    There are three options to choose from
     Road: a cartographic type map with roads and place names
     Aerial: aerial photography of the earth
     Aerial with labels: a hybrid of aerial photography and roads and place names

    You could also use the keyins >

  • Furthermore, once in Map Enterprise, you can open the Help > Contents. Go to Reference, Raster Images, and Point Cloud > Raster Image Display > Raster Image Display. You will find out a Bing Maps bullet.

    Notice that this Bing Maps feature is a Microstation feature. So, it should be available in the upcoming Microsation release, but this would need to be confirmed by the Microstation team to make sure.

  • MicroStation 08.11.09.601 is the first published release of MIcroStation that supports Bing Maps.
