Use Azure Maps in Dynamics 365 Commerce

Business value

Dynamics 365 Commerce uses the Bing Maps service to provide customers with the locations of nearby stores for pickup scenarios. Due to changes in the current Bing Maps service availability, Commerce is introducing a new mapping module that uses the Azure Maps service that customers can migrate to.

Feature details

To prepare for the Bing Maps deprecation, Dynamics 365 Commerce is introducing a new Azure Maps module for customers to migrate to. The Azure Maps module is available as a standard module starting with the Dynamics 365 Commerce version 10.0.45 release.

The Azure Maps module shows the locations of stores on an interactive map that is rendered by using the Azure Maps map control. An Azure Maps API key is required and must be added to the shared parameters page in Commerce headquarters. The Azure Maps module provides different views such as Road, Aerial, and Streetside that users can select to view map locations. It also allows interactions such as zooming and user geolocation.

The Azure Maps module works in conjunction with the store selector module to determine the geographic locations of stores that must be rendered on a map. The store selector and Azure Maps modules interact when a user selects a store using one of those modules on an e-commerce site page. The Azure Maps module can be extended for other scenarios beyond interaction with store selector modules.
