The default map control of Dynamics CRM can not be shown by selection from the custom controls. So it is not possible using the form editor, to add the bing maps control to arbitrary entities.

Instead, you need to add a new single line of text field to the form where you want the maps control to show. I usually use the name, it is only used for attaching the custom control. Add the form to a new solution and export it as unmanaged.

Unzip it, open the customizations.xml and edit the formXML as described below:

Go to the section, find the cell that you created as maps control place holder and edit the control element like below:

<row>
    <cell id="{deadbeef-eef6-4b9c-9caf-d5fbdef8d83d}" labelid="{e47da1dc-aa39-467d-b701-a7f055c50afc}" showlabel="false" locklevel="0">
    <labels>
      <label description="Name" languagecode="1033" />
      <label description="Nom" languagecode="1036" />
      <label description="Name" languagecode="1031" />
      <label description="Имя" languagecode="1049" />
      <label description="Nombre" languagecode="3082" />
      <label description="名前" languagecode="1041" />
    </labels>
    <control id="msdyn_name" classid="{F9A8A302-114E-466A-B582-6771B2AE0D92}" datafieldname="msdyn_name" disabled="false" uniqueid="{deadbeef-1701-54d2-09be-35295876ca8a}" />
  </cell>
</row>

Merge this with your current controlDescriptions element, where forControl has to match the uniqueId of the control. I changed the first section of the ID to “deadbeef” which is valid and easily findable.

All parameters below which contain “msdyn_name” have to match the name of the control that you used in the snippet above for adding it to the form.

    <controlDescription forControl="{deadbeef-1701-54d2-09be-35295876ca8a}">

Save the file and create a zip out of the solution files for importing it to CRM.

After importing, you’ll have the maps control integrated on the form:
