Azure Maps supported views

Make sure you set up the View parameter as required for the REST APIs and the SDKs, which your services are using.

Azure Maps View parameter (also referred to as "user region parameter") is a two letter ISO-3166 Country 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

Ensure that you have set up the View parameter as required. View parameter specifies which set of geopolitically disputed content is returned via Azure Maps services.

Affected Azure Maps REST services:

  • Get Map Tile
  • Get Map Image
  • Get Search Fuzzy
  • Get Search POI
  • Get Search POI Category
  • Get Search Nearby
  • Get Search Address
  • Get Search Address Structured
  • Get Search Address Reverse
  • Get Search Address Reverse Cross Street
  • Post Search Inside Geometry
  • Post Search Address Batch
  • Post Search Address Reverse Batch
  • Post Search Along Route
  • Post Search Fuzzy Batch

SDKs

Ensure that you have set up the View parameter as required, and you have the latest version of Web SDK and Android SDK. Affected SDKs:

  • Azure Maps Web SDK
  • Azure Maps Android SDK

By default, the View parameter is set to Unified, even if you haven't defined it 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.
