title: Windows phone 8 emulator not showing maps
body: <p>I am trying to create a windows phone 8 application but the emulator does not show me the map. all I get is this.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7Ru5n.png" alt="No Map Land">
  as you can see no land mass is show and no roads are shown. I have panned around and come across nothing and the emulator location is set to an area where land should show.</p>
  
  <p>If I run it on my device it works fine and the map loads.</p>
  
  <p>Could this be due to a port blocking issue or something silly like that.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers
  Mark</p>
