East US 2 region is not showing while creating the azure map account

Question

We are in the process to integrate azure map for getting the geocoordinate. While creating the azure map account, in the region selection list we are not getting "East US 2". However, we are not able to use this service as all of our azure resources are in East US 2 region.

I would appreciate if someone can advise how to create an account in this region so that we can use this service. Please provide some reference links.

Thank You!

Answer 1

For clarity, the region doesn't really make a difference when using Azure Maps. Azure Maps is a global service and not a platform you deploy into your subscription. All request to Azure Maps will be directed to the nearest Azure data center to the user making the request that has Azure Maps services available. So, a user in Florida is likely to connect to the East US data center while a user in the UK is likely to connect to the Ireland data center, regardless of what you have set the account region to. There are different endpoints for Azure Maps available if you need to keep requests within the US or the EU, but even then, requests will still be directed to the nearest data center within that region. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/geographic-scope

Answer 2

Hi Lata Gaur

Please use available regions only for Azure Map creations.

That is East US, North Europe, West Central US, West Europe, West US

Thank you.

Please use "East US" rather than "2".
