Bing Maps key

Hello Pan,

Bing map key needs to be generated using the Bing Maps Dev Center, which has been explained in the below link of Microsoft. 

Getting a Bing Maps Key 

Here is more information about new features of WaterGEMS 10.01.00.72  version which you are using. 

What's New with WaterGEMS and WaterCAD CONNECT Edition Update 1 

I got a bing map key and loaded it into my model, but the pipe network shows in a wrong location.

I think the bing map coordinate is wrong, is that because of the control points?

Hello Pan, you may need to use control points to align the background with the model, in case they use a different coordinate system. I recommend using the 3 points option. With this, you select a point in the model, for example a hydrant, then pick the corresponding point on the map (the location of the hydrant). Do this for three points and the map should align.

We will be posting a short video about this on our Blog and YouTube channel very soon.
