In my Windows 8.1 Application, I tried to integrate Bing Map control and provided my Map key but when I am running the application it's just showing blocked icon/black screen.
Event I tried downloading Bing Maps sample from MSDN, but in that also I am getting the same error after provding bing map key. So I am not sure what's the actual issue, is issue with my bing map key?
Here's the screenshot of how I created my Key from Bing Map portal:
And below is the screenshot that I see on screen when I run my application:
Bing Map Block Error:
Ok, there are certain countries in which the Windows 8.1 map control is disabled as documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj670541.aspx You can get around this by setting the HomeRegion property of the map to a country that isn't blocked. For example HomeRegion="US"

I am building an application that can use Google, Bing and Azure maps to display my data.
I'm now at the stage that I need to look into how to display these maps when I don't have an internet connection.
Do you know how I can use these map services while off-line?
Is it possible to cache the information perhaps?
If you are targeting the Windows platform, the UWP map control fully supports offline usage.

Using the bing maps web control offline is not supported (and storing bing maps tiles offline is against the terms of use).
I'm writing a simple WP 8.1 app which handle travel routes. I've created a key in Bing Maps Dev Center and I have a valid key. I set it in XAML for Map control:
<maps:MapControl x:Name="map" MapServiceToken="valid token"/>
In the app, I can search locations by addresses (MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAsync) but I get an InvalidCredentials result when try to find a route between the addresses with MapRouteFinder.GetDrivingRouteAsync().
The Windows Phone 8.1 map control doesn't use Bing Maps. You have to get a map token to use these maps from the Windows Phone dev center. Here is documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn741528.aspx
In Windows 10 this map control is updated to use Bing Maps.

You will still need to have a Bing map key, but creating one for a mobile app is free.
I have a Windows Forms application with a WebBrowser control. I am using Google Maps API v3 for displaying a map on the browser control.
The map displays the path traveled using markers and polylines. The area in which the location is shown is limited (the path traveled is only in a specific area). I know that Google caches the map tiles.
Suppose the internet disconnects for a couple of minutes due to network issues, the map is visible and pan-able for the area which was traveled (and cached). But the Google Maps API will not work to place a marker. In such a situation, while the network is reconnected, how to place markers on the map?
You can use gmapcatcher -offline maps viewer-
GMapCatcher is an offline maps viewer. It can display maps from many providers

all is in the title, I'm looking for an equivalent in Windows 8 of the BingMapsDirectionsTask that exists in Windows Phone 7.
My purpose is to display a route without using the bing maps API.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards
Since Bing is not built in, you need to manually access a Bing or Google API to manually get directions or whatever your use is.
