Let us create a custom entity having latitude and longitude fields (floating point data type) in it. These fields are required for configuring Map View for the entity list.
For e.g. Location is our custom entity.
We have 2 record created and have the entity list configured for the Active Location view.
Entity List for the Location custom entity on the portal :-
Open the Entity List record, go to Map View tab and check Map Enabled check box.
Configure Latitude, Longitude field.
The InfoBox title and description field will be used for the info box that pops up when hovered over the pushpin.
For Credentials, get the Bing Map key

Default Center Latitude and Longitude would define the center point for the map.On refreshing the portal page, it shows the Map with the 2 records as push pin along with the records detail and Get Directions button
Info Box
Hope it helps..

Has this been verified in portals for Dynamics 365? Which template did you use? The map renders but the pins do not.

Check your page template. Not all templates will render a map. Also I’ve had a ticket opened with Microsoft about the pins not rendering. They’ve verified a bug in this and said there would be a fix soon.

Hi Ingrid. Do you know what needs to be included in the web-template to render the map? Only the entity list view gets shown on my page even though I enabled the map. Any ideas?
