Hello @ascott18,
can you at least share your request payload and more information to be able to reproduce the issue.

[ascott18]

Unfortunately the request payload includes privileged customer data that I cannot share.

The issue here is quite straightforward - there are enum values that Bing will return that this library does not support.

PointOfInterest is defined here in the official bing SDK - https://github.com/microsoft/bing-search-sdk-for-net/blob/1fec1d7bb3776cca86db7b6fcd340e59db3d0d3c/sdk/EntitySearch/src/Generated/Models/EntityType.cs#L39. Note that the official SDK simply uses strings for these values, not enums, since the API could start returning new values at any time. GeoRegion seems to be so new that it doesn't even have a declared const in the official SDK. Sorry, I realized that the bing search SDK is not actually the bing maps SDK - there doesn't seem to be a bing maps SDK.
