I just got Office 365 pro-plus, and saw that for Outlook emails, there's an add-in available for Bing Maps that will show you a map of any addresses typed in the email. Is there a way to use Google maps rather than Bing? It looks like you can change the registry to allow that in other versions of Office, but I'm not sure it'll work with Office 365.

In regedit, browse to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General

Right-click in the right pane and click on New / String Value. For the string name, enter:

MapScriptURL

Double-click on the MapScriptURL key to open it. Enter this for the data value.

It's working great but the credit goes to https://www.brucebnews.com/

The apps are actually web based. You'll need a different add-in to use Google maps, Currently I only see one listed in the store and it's not free https://store.office.com/maps-for-outlook-WA104380098.aspx?assetid=WA104380098&sourcecorrid=51b2a6a9-919a-4211-bee6-f2449f70b1f5&searchapppos=0

This works but only from within outlook contacts.. if the address is within the email body and you want to view it in google, that's where it will still map it using bing maps.. Have not been able to fix that. Any ideas? Thanks
