You can make the change in code as below. Also, I did notice when altering the code to change the region from an unsupported one to the US, occasionally there was a hiccup and the map wouldn't update. Running it a second time seems to do the trick though.

// CHANGE MAP REGION
switch (myMap.HomeRegion)
{
    case "AR": // ARGENTINA
    case "AZ": // AZERBAIJAN
    case "KR": // SOUTH KOREA
    case "CN": // CHINA
    case "IN": // INDIA
    case "MA": // MOROCCO
    case "PK": // PAKISTAN
    case "SG": // SINGAPORE
    case "RS": // SERBIA
    case "VE": // VENEZUELA
    case "TW": // TAIWAN
    case "HK": // HONG KONG
        myMap.HomeRegion = "US";
        break;
}

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.
