In Australia and perhaps other countries around the world, address standard include the 'Neighborhood' field from Bing Maps, not the 'City' field. For example, Adelaide in South Australia has a population of 1+ million and covers hundreds of square miles. Addresses are NOT written as: 1 George St Adelaide SA 5063 (incorrect) where 'Adelaide' is returned in the 'City' field from Bing Maps, but rather: 1 George St Parkside SA 5063 (correct) where 'Parkside' is returned in the 'Neighborhood' field from Bing Maps. The suggestion is simply to introduce a Boolean configuration option that overrides the mapping of the 'City' field in D365 from the default Bing Maps 'City' to the 'Neighborhood' field. Alternatively, instructions on how to change/override the current code that performs this mapping could be made available (if technically feasible).

Thank you for your feedback.

Currently, we're working with Bing to see how this can be accomplished. We are aware of this ask and are tracking it. If we get positive feedback from Bing, we'd like to consider it in the future.

Sincerely,
