Add a Bing Maps Key for ArcMap

I was provided a key to use Bing Maps services in ArcGIS Desktop.  Here's how to set it up.

Enter a Bing Key

  • Navigate to the bin directory where you installed ArcMap. Something like:
[Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.2\bin
  • Open the SetBingKey.exe program
  • Paste your custom key into the text box and click OK

Load Bing Maps Layers Into a Project

Now you can add Bing layers in ArcMap:
  • Click the Add Data dropdown and choose Add Data from ArcGIS Online… 
  • Type Bing as a search term and hit Enter
  • Click Add on any of the Bing Maps basemaps you want to use

* For versions other than 10.2, read more from Esri's Knowledge Base
