Azure Maps is a global service that supports specifying a geographic scope, which allows you to limit data residency to the European (EU) or United States (US) geographic areas (geos). All requests (including input data) are stored exclusively in the specified geographic area. For more information on Azure regions and geographies, see Azure geographies.
Data locations
For disaster recovery and high availability, Microsoft may replicate customer data to other regions within the same geographic area. For example, if you use the Azure Maps Europe API geographic endpoint, your requests (including input data) are kept in an Azure datacenter in Europe. The only impact is where request data is saved, it doesn't limit the locations from which the customers, or their end users, may access customer data via Azure Maps API.
Geographic API endpoint mapping
The following table describes the mapping between geography and supported Azure geographic API endpoint. For example, if you want all Azure Maps Search Address requests to be processed and stored within the European Azure geography, use the eu.atlas.microsoft.com endpoint.
