# Bing Maps for Enterprise stops working

Calls to Bing Maps for Enterprise stop working on June 30, 2028.

Bing Maps for Enterprise services will shut down on June 30, 2028. The service is deprecated and has already been retired for free Basic account customers, while Enterprise account customers can continue using it until that date. After June 30, 2028, requests to dev.virtualearth.net will fail.

## What to use instead

Move geocoding, routing, and map calls to Azure Maps (atlas.microsoft.com) by following Microsoft's migration guides. The transition requires more than updating an endpoint, as Azure Maps needs an Azure subscription, a new key, and uses different APIs from Bing Maps.
