Find business uisng SIC code and plot them on map

Question

Hi,

We are using Bing Maps to plot pushpins on a map. We received a requirement to plot pushpins based on SIC codes. Is there any way to find businesses using SIC codes and plot them on a map using the Bing Maps API.

Thanks!

Sam

Hi Sam,

SIC codes are not addresses so are not plottable as such. You would need to filter your business listings by the SIC code then display the set. As you likely already know, we do not have anything called a "SIC Code" in our data. However, you can try the SDS "Entity-type" value to see if it aligns with your needs. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/spatial-data-services/public-data-sources/poi-entity-types
