Microsoft to Kill Off Windows Maps App
2025-04-25
Microsoft has announced it will deprecate and remove the Windows Maps app from the Microsoft Store in July 2025. This follows the earlier removal of offline maps support and the app's exclusion from new Windows 11 24H2 installations. While still available for download, reinstallation will be impossible after July. Microsoft directs users to the Bing Maps web version. This move signals a streamlining of Microsoft's mapping services, focusing on its web-based offering.
