I have an application that currently uses google map APIs. I like maps much better and I feel that you have more options with google maps. The problem is that Google maps were very inaccurate when I give him the address to map, while Bing is currently 100%. I also like the look of the Bings Birds Eye, but it's not that important. My question is, can I use the Bing API to take the address that I give it, return the longitude and latitude, and then give it to my existing Google map to build the point. If so, how? I looked at Bing Maps and I could not find a good way to geocode the address. Below is my current google map code
var map;
var directionsPanel;
var directions;
function initialize() {
map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(41.1255275,-73.6964801), 15);
directionsPanel = document.getElementById("route");
directions = new GDirections(map, directionsPanel);
directions.load("from: ADDRESS 1 to: ADDRESS 2 ");
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
}
ADDRESS 2 , Bing
