Bing Live Maps are off significantly from my Data

Hi everyone. I have two drawings, one in which correct imagery will show up and one will not. They both share the same coordinate system and data. I am very new to this location setting feature and not to savvy on how to remedy this.

Are both drawings set up with an assigned coordinate system? See: Edit Drawing Settings, Units and Zone tab.

Yes, they are set to the same coordinate system. TX83-NCF

It looks as though the rotation is off or something. I believe the 2 dwgs have different geo markers

Mason,
Did you use the GeoLocation Command on the incorrect drawing? GeoLocation is meant for Vanilla AutoCAD and is wonky and unpredictable in Civil 3D.
Easiest fix is to use GEOREMOVE Command, MAPCSASSIGN to re-assign the Coordinate System, then GEOMAP to see Bing Live Maps.

Thank You very much, removing and resetting the coordinate system worked.

How do you assign a coordinate system to your drawing so it'll be consistent with Bing Maps? Easy, assign your coordinate system then turn on Bing Maps. Here's a video that demonstrates how to assign Nevada State Plane, NAD83, East Zone, US Feet. (Your state and zone may vary.) Once you've assigned your coordiante system, simply turn on Bing Hybrid map (use the Hybrid version so you'll have aerial photography and street labels, both will assist in getting your bearings as you zoom-in and pan around). Turning on Bing Maps after you've assigned your CS replaces other, more complicated procedures, commonly used set up georeferencing.

After you have turned on Bing, a red geomarker will appear in modelspace. Using your mouse wheel to zoom-out gives you a wider view angle and makes it easier to find the geomarker. When you spot the marker, pan to it then zoom-in. Get in tight so you can read the labels provided by Bing Hybrid and to get your bearings.
