Bing "Map It" not showing up in any window accept when imputing a contact for the first time

Bing's "Map It" function that is supposed to be present in office 2013 through emails is not... ive tried many different tests trying to input the addresses in different formats and there is no ability to get a map to the location. Maybe i am
just missing something? Also i was wondering if there is a way to get the "map it" function to work through the calender? It would be ideal if i could pull maps up when looking at an event that i have scheduled (all my events include the address
of each job as they are scheduled jobs for my employees).

bing maps link only displays in Outlook 2013 (or OWA) if an address is detected in the message. This only works if you have an Exchange 2013 email account.
Map it button is in contacts and works with all accounts.
If you want to have a map link in the calendar, you need to use VBA. I have a sample macro at
http://www.slipstick.com/developer/use-vba-to-map-a-contacts-address/ that maps contacts using different services. It could easily be changed to map appointments (which i think
i will do next).
