If you enable this policy setting, when a user adds geographic data to a new or existing map chart, that data will be sent to Bing and the map chart will be updated to include any new locations.
If you disable this policy setting, when a user adds geographic data to a new or existing map chart, the geographic data won't be sent to Bing and the map chart won't be updated to include any new locations. Also, the user will see a message letting them know that their map chart can't be created.
If you don't configure this policy setting, when a user adds geographic data to a new or existing map chart, that data will be sent to Bing and the map chart will be updated to include any new locations.
