HERE Maps, Local Scout etc not working on my Lumia 720

[WPCentral Question]

Hi,
I recently bought a Lumia 720, a phone I had been searching for since the last several months. The phone is working fine, but sadly, the HERE Apps are not working. The message says your phone has no maps. I am currently based in Doha.
Please help.
Thanks,
Satya

OK, I pride myself on geographical knowledge, but where the heck is Doha? (I wanted to ask instead of asking Ms. Cortana, ha ha.)

I presume you are outside of the USA or Europe. Try changing your region to something First World. No insult intended, but there are all kinds of legal issues and agreements with many Third World country's service providers.

Of course, you can trying uninstalling and then reinstalling the apps, too.
