To change the region settings for your Maps JavaScript API to align with your location (Vietnam) instead of India, you typically need to adjust the region parameter in your API request. Here’s how you can do that:

Set the region Parameter in the API URL:

Add the region parameter to your Maps JavaScript API URL to specify the region you want the results to be biased towards. For Vietnam, the region code is VN.

If you’re unable to create a payments profile due to region restrictions and need to change your account’s region. Unfortunately, Google does not allow changing the country/region of an existing payments profile. You’ll need to create a new payments profile with the correct region (Vietnam).

• Go to the Google Cloud Console.
• Navigate to the Billing section.
• Click on Manage settings.
• Click on Create a new profile.
• Choose Vietnam as your country/region and complete the setup process.

After creating the new payments profile, you’ll need to associate it with your existing Google Cloud project.

• Go to the Google Cloud Console.
• Navigate to the Billing section.
• Find your project and change the billing account to the new payments profile you just created.

Ensure your API key is properly set up to use the new billing information. Make sure all billing information is correctly entered for the new payments profile to avoid any disruptions.
