Solution

  • The user region settings of your computer might be set to one of these:

    • Argentina
    • Azerbaijani
    • China
    • India
    • South Korea
    • Morocco
    • Pakistan
    • Singapore
    • Serbia
    • Venezuela

    Bing Maps is not supported in these regions. To overcome this, either set HomeRegion="US" in <Maps:Map .... /> or go to Control-Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Change Location. Set Home Location to United States. Also try with latest version of SDK.
