c# - Is there a way to open the Bing Maps App on Windows Phone 7 to a specific location? -

The built-in emulator does not have the Bing application installed, and I do not have any phones to test with hardware So I'm just wondering how can I open a Bing Maps application for a specific lat / long?

Android Unfortunately, there is no way to launch the Bing Maps app from your own app.

> There was a way in an early CTP but it has been removed. Hopefully this will come back in the future but it is not on any existing, public, roadmap.

This leaves two options. Option 1
Search app you want to show latitude / long is integrated directly with the Bing Map app, assuming that Bing can bring you / take you back and return something useful Even then, the user will still be able to wish whatever he wishes inside the bing map app.

Although there are 2 Downsides in it first, you have no control over the search results. And, secondly, you can not test it on the emulator.

Option 2
You can use within your own lightweight application of silver.
(Before RTM, it was right but, it was some quits and intended only as an interval difference solution).
While not fully printed as an app, the control is too much Provides functionality.

Without a real device, but you can simulate location data for testing.
You may also want to do this with real devices, because it is much easier than trying to debug while walking or driving.

Edit:
If you are going to use WebBrowserTask () (above option 1), then your query Prefix with "map" and url Prompt your query string. Example:

var work = new webbrowserTask (); Task.URL = "Maps: 1% 20N% 20 Franklin% 2060606";

or

  task.URL = "map: 37.788153% 2C-122.440162";
