Hi @umaraliarshad

You can't change the internet mapping service. But don't worry, they work the same way.

Hello @umaraliarshad

As mentioned No you can't... Autodesk has switched to Bing Internet Mapping since release of Revit 2014..

For the general info...May I ask why Google maps? (Appart from Historic Traffic/Bycicle routs/ and Monthly update of the routes vs bi-weekly with Google) Bing is by far better...

Google Maps is more "up to date"...even looking at my own neighborhood Bing is about 2 years out of date vs Google Map.

Bird's Eye is about 10 years out of date.

well you might be right ... but i think bing do not hold enough information about places, because some places that can be found by adding simple query in google map, cannot be found in bing..

Does anyone else have the issue of the map not populating with a satellite image? Unlike the Google-based version of ReVIT 2014 (running on Win 7 ), all I get with Bing and ReVIT 2014 is a grey box instead of a map on Win 10...
