+* The Geofence API async event requires the region property of your Azure Maps account be set to ***Global***. When creating an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal, this is not given as an option. See [Create an Azure Maps account with a global region](tutorial-geofence#create-an-azure-maps-account-with-a-global-region) for more information.
 * Configure multiple subscriptions to route events to the same event handler. It's important not to assume that events are from a particular source. Always check the message topic to ensure that the message came from the source that you expect.
 * Use the `X-Correlation-id` field in the response header to understand if your information about objects is up to date. Messages can arrive out of order or after a delay.
 * When a GET or a POST request in the Geofence API is called with the mode parameter set to `EnterAndExit`, then an Enter or Exit event is generated for each geometry in the geofence for which the status has changed from the previous Geofence API call.

+## Create an Azure Maps account with a global region
+
+The Geofence API async event requires the region property of your Azure Maps account be set to ***Global***. When creating an Azure Maps account in the Azure portal, this is not given as an option, however you do have several other options for creating a new Azure Maps account with the *global* region setting. This section lists the three methods that can be used to create and Azure Maps account with teh region set to global.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The `location` property in both the ARM template and PowerShell `New-AzMapsAccount` command refer to the same property as the `Region` field in the Azure portal.
+
+### Use an ARM template to create an Azure Maps account with a global region
+
+You will need to [Create your Azure Maps account using an ARM template](how-to-create-template), making sure to set `location` to `global` in the `resources` section of the ARM template.
+
+### Use PowerShell to create an Azure Maps account with a global region
+
+```powershell
+New-AzMapsAccount -ResourceGroupName your-Resource-Group -Name name-of-maps-account -SkuName g2 -Location global
+```
+
+### Use Azure CLI to create an Azure Maps account with a global region
+
+The Azure CLI command [az maps account create](/cli/azure/maps/account?view=azure-cli-latest#az-maps-account-create) doesn’t have a location property, but defaults to “global”, making it useful for creating an Azure Maps account with a global region setting for use with the Geofence API async event.
