They discuss why Bing Maps is reaching end of life, what existing users need to think about next, and how Azure Maps is enabling smarter, more scalable location-based solutions. The conversation also looks ahead to the future of mapping, including the growing influence of Microsoft Fabric and IoT, and how these technologies are shaping innovation across industries.
