>GPS viewer now migrated to Azure maps and is working without nags.

CDS background image's will now load. (After BingMaps was deprecated by Microsoft)

Ezigrade 4.2.142

We have migrated the background images from BingMaps to Azure Maps. BingMaps is no longer supported by Microsoft. Legacy Ezigrade programs will still display background images on old jobs; but New jobs will not be able to download background images. Please download the latest version to keep using background images.

Ezigrade, CDS and .GPS viewer

We have been using Google Bing Maps for background views. Apparently from June 30 2025 Microsoft is no longer supporting BingMaps and the service is now inactive. Thus background maps are either not displayed or have a watermark for the .gps viewer. We are migrating to the equivalent Microsoft Azure maps product. We will let you know when updates are available.
