Azure Maps supported views
You need to configure the View parameter as required for the REST APIs and the Web SDK, for the services being used.
Azure Maps View parameter (also referred to as "user region parameter") is a two letter ISO-3166 country/region Code that shows the correct maps for that country/region specifying which set of geopolitically disputed content is returned via Azure Maps services, including borders and labels displayed on the map.
REST APIs
Configuring the View parameter is required. This parameter determines which set of geopolitically disputed content is returned by Azure Maps services.

SDKs
You need to have the latest version of Web SDK and configure the View parameter as required. This parameter determines which set of geopolitically disputed content the Azure Maps service returns.
By default, the View parameter is set to Unified, even if not defined in the request. Determine the location of your users. Then, set the View parameter correctly for that location. Alternatively, you can set 'View=Auto', which returns the map data based on the IP address of the request. The View parameter in Azure Maps must be used in compliance with applicable laws, including those laws about mapping of the country/region where maps, images, and other data and third-party content that you're authorized to access via Azure Maps is made available.
