Bing Maps SDK for Windows Store apps

I Can't use it in my app.
It has a STOP Water mark in the middle of screen

I'm suffering from this problem too.. No solution found. Please Fix this!

Same. I tried uninstall any bing map sdk and install again. Doesn't work ):

Some regions are not supported. Try settings the HomeRegion like this: myMap.HomeRegion = "US";

Same here

Well I was getting the same Red Stop sign issue some people have reported. This happens if your Computer's Location is set to unsupported country. Dunno what the white list is, but India is not supported. 
Go to Control-Panel->Clock,Language and Region->Change Location. Set Home Location to United States and test. Thing should work. What a mess!!!

BTW myMap.HomeRegion="US" suggested by Tore85 didn't work. Maybe I am doing it wrong so if he can supply a working sample it will help!

The list of unsupported regions can be found here:

Try setting the home region in your xaml:

HomeRegion="US"

Works like a charm both in my computer and in my surface

I believe this has been removed in the March 21st update. Try updating to the latest version and see if you still see this. 

You guys seem to be kicking out updates every few weeks.  Which I am guessing is good.  It would be really nice to know what's changed / fixed / improved.  This way if we have some sort of fix or limitation we can re-evaluate that hack or omission with each release.  Also it would be almost essential to notify us of any API changes, additions or deprecations.  Thank you.

Hi

No idea what's going on but I get an error "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component." on geolocator GetGeopositionAsync.
Try everything nothing work, any idea?
so far restarted, reinstall Bing Maps SDK (latest version). No luck so far, really need help
Thanks

Peter, did you ensure that the Windows Store App allows the Location permission?

I have problems binding a double value to the latitude and longitude values of the location in my xaml.

Binding the same values to the latitude and longitude of a pushpin works though.

As a result my map's location is somehere next to Africa (must be 0,0). The pushpin gets displayed on its correct position.

i have a problem, i try to install de sdk bing maps and it brings a dialog window that is says aplication not found, whats the problem ???

The display and performance of bing map is not good
And after i downloaded 1.1.20120927.1 version (Last updated 10/30/2012)
It still doesn't work well

And even more, test failed of bing map in arm windows surface rt platform

Is the 10/30/2012 version is as same as 1.0 version?

After i installed the newest bing sdk metro, my application on the arm didn't work any...  

"das erweiterungsmanifest ist ungültig"

I've got the Bing Maps SDK working nicely - and packaged using Visual Studio - and took onto another Windows8 PC.   BUT - the Bing Maps extension wasn't included (I don't think)...

And the app crashes as soon as it starts - do I need to register the DLL's for Bing.Maps.Xaml ??     HOW ??

Do you need to install VS2012 and this extension on each app that uses the Maps? Our app works on our dev machines, but the tablet always crashes when trying to load the maps (which doesn't have VS2012 installed)

Same happens to me, even with the RTM versión.

Any ideas?

Did you remember to include the c++ framework reference that follows the Bing Maps reference?

Same to us. We have added the c++ framework reference, but it's not working on a target machine with x86 or x64 without Visual Studio installed.

The issue for us was that package created was in Debug. In Release it works properly

I have an app that uses Bing maps as a crucial part. And I cannot submit it to the store due to the delay. I need to meet a deadline. 

So please tell us when the final release will be available.
Otherwise we have to find an alternative solution (without maps).

Greetings
