Hey guys, our production sites stopped loading the globe/tiles after this release was pushed (even though we haven’t upgraded to the new release yet). This has happened 2 or 3 times with new releases over the past year or so.

This time we’re getting a message that states: An error occurred in “BingMapsImageryProvider” An error occurred while accessing http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Metadata/Aerial?jsonp=loadJsonp251746&incl=ImageryProviders&key=&uriScheme=http

We have an array of maps we make available. Each map selection has a “creationFunction”, and the code we’re using to reference/load the failing maps is:

        // "Streets"
        creationFunction: function() {
            var bing = new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider({
                url : 'https://dev.virtualearth.net',
                key : strBingMapsKey,
                mapStyle : Cesium.BingMapsStyle.ROAD
            });
            scene.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(bing, 0);

        // "Earth"
        creationFunction: function() {
            var bing = new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider({
                url : 'https://dev.virtualearth.net',
                key : strBingMapsKey,
                mapStyle : Cesium.BingMapsStyle.AERIAL
            });
            scene.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(bing, 0);

Any ideas?

UPDATE
The globe/tiles not working turned out to be an issue with the maps themselves. We were using the Road and Aerial maps from Bing Maps Enterprise For Azure which apparently “went away”. We had to create an account at BingMapsPortal.com which is being separated from Azure for some reason.

Once we created a new account and a new access token the maps began working again.

For the BingsMapsImageryProvider issue, it usually happens when you are using the default Cesium ion access token instead of your personal access token. It looks like you have also added an update to the post about the error coming from the map provider and a possible resolution. Do you still need assistance on this issue?

For future questions, please post it under the tag “support” as a separate issue. This helps with visibility and other users to look up your questions if they encounter the same issue. Thank you!

Hi dzung, thanks for the response.

For what it’s worth we have not been using the default Cesium ion access token but we’ve had the globe/tiles stop working at least 2 or 3 times after Cesium released an update over the past year or so.

As for this issue… as I stated above we discovered what actually caused the issue this time and have fixed it. I added the UPDATE to the post so that others would have a point of reference if they had the same issue with Bing/Azure maps.

Thanks again.

The last estimate was the May release, according to comments in this PR:

This has come up quite a few times in the forum:

Thanks,
