We're using Bing Maps for location in PowerApps - the service is ending next year, so we're told to migrate to Azure Maps.

There's no Power Platform connector for Azure Maps

What's the migration path / fix for this?

    Hi John,

    I don't have a timeline from the Power Apps folks as it will be up to them to update the connector, but you can make a custom connector and call the Azure Maps APIs that way. Here are the steps Copilot Recommends:

    Here are the steps to create a custom connector: 1. Go to the PowerApps portal and select the "Custom connectors" option from the left-hand menu. 2. Click on the "New custom connector" button and provide a name and description for the connector. 3. In the "General" tab, provide the base URL for the Azure Maps REST API endpoint. 4. In the "Security" tab, select the authentication type that you want to use to connect to the Azure Maps REST API. You can choose from OAuth 2.0, API key, or anonymous. 5. In the "Definition" tab, define the actions that you want to expose through the custom connector. You can define actions to retrieve location data, search for locations, and perform other location-based operations. 6. Save the custom connector and test it to ensure that it is working correctly.

    Sincerely,

    IoTGirl
