Hello, does Azure Maps support the use in China? My company uses Bing Maps for its project, and now Bing Maps needs to be integrated into Azure Maps. According to the Azure Maps document, it does not support the use in China. What should I do then?

    Hi @litao

    does Azure Maps support the use in China?

    Unfortunately, Azure Maps is not yet available for use within mainland China due to regulatory restrictions.

    This document also states that: "Unlike Bing Maps Find a Location by Query API, Azure Maps Get Geocoding API doesn’t currently support address geocoding for China, Japan, or South Korea."

    What should I do then?

    Microsoft continues to support Bing Maps for Enterprise customers in China until June 30, 2028. Until that date, there is still much time to wait if there is an update for China.
