WP7 Bing Maps navigate to a ZIP code

Question

This is really simple, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. On Bing Maps for Windows Phone 7, how do I navigate to a ZIP code? I just want to center and zoom the map to a specific ZIP code. Is this possible without knowing the long/lat?

Answer 1

With the current version of the tools this isn't possible.

You'll have to get the lat/long for the ZIP code and then manipulate the map accordingly.

Hopefully, CivicAddressResolver will be implemented in an update soon so that this can be done with the SDK on the device.
