Requested via email, an example is Chinese characters result in "not found" lookups, e.g.

Beijing 北京
Peiking University 北京大学
Tsinghua University 清华大学
Beijing Normal University 北京师范大学

Looks like a culture code is required in the Bing Maps API request. Should also confirm proper param encoding too. See https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/e1bb97c8-692c-4ce2-b642-99c213e001be/does-bing-map-api-support-chinese-character-query?forum=bingmapsservices

seems to be working fine for me without any additional parameter or URL encoding the characters. Awaiting confirmation from the user that emailed in.

Old URL encode function is used. From version 2013 of EXCEL one can use
WorksheetFunction.EncodeUrl
