How Do I Print from Bing Maps in December 2025

JJH 25

Bing Maps has changed. A few months ago, I could select the route, and the directions would display in a dropdown. Also in the dropdown was a print option that would print all of the directions, and also the map showing that route. Now the print (or maybe there was a "Save as PDF" option) is gone.

I have to print from Bing Maps to submit with my mileage reports to my employer.

How do I save them as a PDF that includes all the directions and the map for the selected route?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out about printing directions and maps from Bing Maps I understand how important this is for submitting mileage reports and I appreciate you sharing the changes you’ve noticed. It can be frustrating when familiar options like “Print” or “Save as PDF” disappear after an update.

The reason this is happening is that Bing Maps recently updated its interface and the previous dropdown print option was removed. While this change can feel inconvenient there are still ways to achieve what you need. One alternative solution is to use your browser’s built-in print feature. After generating your route on Bing Maps press Ctrl + P (or Command + P on Mac) and select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer. This will allow you to save the entire page, including the map and directions as a PDF. If the layout isn’t ideal you can adjust the print settings to include background graphics or use the “More settings” option for better formatting. Another option is to use a screenshot tool or a browser extension that captures the full page and saves it as a PDF. These methods provide flexibility when the native print feature is unavailable.

I hope this answer is helpful if you have further questions feel free to reply back

Regards,

Marcelo

This solution does not work since it prints out the entire browser page instead of just the directions. The list of directions gets cut off. Not sure why Microsoft would remove this option. This "update" makes Bing Maps look like cheaper and downgraded. Bad move on their part.

This is not a smart change. The only reason to have a maps app to begin with is for folks to print out directions. No one is going to a web browser for directions unless they intend to print them, as they would otherwise use their phone. People coming to a maps app for directions don't have a phone or don't use a phone, or their sight is poor and they need something in print. You might as well just pack Bing Maps in and send the staff home, since this downgrade is going to greatly decrease traffic. You'd save a lot of money. And by the way, your printed directions were better than the others out there. It made it way easier to see the map at each step. I used Bing Maps to provide walking directions for my clients, as Google makes the map entirely too small and is not very readable once printed. You're shooting yourselves in the foot by getting rid of this. And, by the way, "You can still use specialized third party add-ons that require lots of tweaking to get the page to print properly" is crazy work. I can't believe you even said that xD

The built-in print feature was truly the best part about Bing Maps. Other map providers have features that make them stand out in some way. Bing's best feature was how readable the printouts were. The ability to zoom in on tricky / unfamiliar parts of a trip, but have the complete directions for the trip on the side... it was better than the competition. What are the odds of getting this feature back? I know the code still has to be in their TFS system. Even if a coding change made the old code impossible to implement, it is still a base for rebuilding it.

@Ryan Wilson The only way to provide such feedback to Bing Maps is through their website at Bing.com/maps. As to your assumption regarding code reuse, the Bing Maps for Enterprise APIs are EOL and the new consumer pages have moved to newer coding techniques so that old code would likely no longer be compatible.

This change is awful and terrible "customer" service. For work I need to be able to print directions as a PDF in order to send them to clients. The ctl +P doesn't work at all and neither do the other suggestions. Bing also seems to have removed the function to share a link. All other mapping platforms have these functions.

I did that before I posted here. I have not seen any updates to maps that include a way to print what I need.

Currently, the context does not provide specific information on how to print or save directions from Bing Maps as a PDF, especially in December 2025. However, it is important to note that Bing Maps has undergone changes, and features may have been modified or removed.

To save directions and maps, you may want to explore the following general options:

Screenshot: Take a screenshot of the map and directions displayed on your screen and save it as an image or PDF.
Browser Print Function: Use your browser's print function (usually Ctrl + P or Command + P) to print the page directly, which may include the map and directions.
Third-Party Tools: Consider using third-party applications or browser extensions that can capture web pages as PDFs.

For the most accurate and updated method, please check the official Bing Maps documentation or support resources as they may provide new functionalities or updates regarding printing and saving options.
