Bing Services

The Lucity Web Map supports the use of Bing map services as base maps.

Note: To use Bing services for FREE, the Lucity Web application must have a public URL.

Bing maps are subject to a license agreement with Microsoft and require a key that is available to clients on ArcGIS 10 with a support and maintenance contract. Review ESRI documentation to determine whether your agency qualifies to use Bing services. Lucity does not provide a Bing authorization key.

How To Setup a Bing Map

1. Get a Bing key. How to obtain a Bing authorization key
2. In the Lucity Administration Tool, go to GIS > Map Services.
3. Add a new Map Service.
4. Enter a Name for the service.
5. Enter the URL, which is broken down into three parts:

   Bing Key

   Bing:Key=<Bing Key from step 1>

   Layer Style - If no layer style is set, the style defaults to "Road." The options are AerialWithLabels, Aerial, and Road. These options are case sensitive.

   &LayerStyle=AerialWithLabels

   Extent - Optional. This value defines the default opening extent for the map.

   &Extent=1,3,2,3

   The resulting URL looks something like this:

   Bing:Key=INeFTNEsdIDINDdldisDINi2DInin9IDNin&LayerStyle=AerialWithLabels&Extent=1,3,2,3

6. Check the Base Map?, Tiled?, and Disable MetaData Queries boxes.
7. Save changes and close the window.
