https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/differences-between-bing-basemap-and-bing-maps/m-p/1367334#M14457 <P>I recently added the Bing Maps basemap to our organization's Basemap gallery in Portal using <A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/education-blog/bing-basemaps-custom-basemaps/ba-p/1116108" target="_self">these helpful instructions</A>. Looking at the basemap and comparing it with what you see if you visit the <A href="https://www.bing.com/map" target="_self">Bing Maps site</A> directly, there are some significant differences, even at the same zoom level. Stylistically they look quite different but more importantly (to me, at least), the features included don't appear to be the same. For example, in the basemap version, many of the buildings that are present on the Bing Maps site are missing. The area I'm looking at is Worcester, Massachusetts.</P><P>I'm just curious why these differences are present. Is different data being used for the Bing Maps basemap and if so, why is that?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="City Hall_ Bing Basemap.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90827iC8EF01E810A17966/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="City Hall_ Bing Basemap.jpg" alt="City Hall_ Bing Basemap.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="City Hall_Bing Maps Site.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90828iFB57F58DD4337799/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="City Hall_Bing Maps Site.jpg" alt="City Hall_Bing Maps Site.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="June St_Bing Basemap.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90825iBB1DEB347D053373/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="June St_Bing Basemap.jpg" alt="June St_Bing Basemap.jpg" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="June St_Bing Maps Site.jpg" style="width: 909px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90826iB235685B367B5136/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="June St_Bing Maps Site.jpg" alt="June St_Bing Maps Site.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 08 Jan 2024 19:36:46 GMT WorcesterGTSS 2024-01-08T19:36:46Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/differences-between-bing-basemap-and-bing-maps/m-p/1367334#M14457 <P>I recently added the Bing Maps basemap to our organization's Basemap gallery in Portal using <A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/education-blog/bing-basemaps-custom-basemaps/ba-p/1116108" target="_self">these helpful instructions</A>.
