What Microsoft Bing changed

• Updated the map data copyright to © 2026 TomTom.
• Added MapLibre open-source library attribution.
• Removed the standard Bing homepage elements including Copilot, news feeds, and image search tools.
• Simplified the interface to focus exclusively on Directions and map scale details.
• Updated the footer copyright year to 2026.

The search engine appears to be shifting its mapping infrastructure. By moving away from internal or legacy data sources to TomTom and MapLibre, the user experience for directions and local search may change in accuracy or visual style.

• Removed the "Image Creator" and "Video Creator" tools.
