The Find service allows you to locate addresses, places, latitude/longitude coordinates, and points of interest (from either MapPoint Web Service data or your data that we host for your use). The route service allows you to generate routes, driving directions, and calculated route representations (used to render a highlighted route on the map) based on locations or waypoints, set segment and route preferences, and generate map views of segments and directions. Renders map images of the given MapViews Convert individual LatLongs into PixelCoords as they would appear in the given MapView Convert individual PixelCoords into LatLongs as they would appear in the given MapView Get a MapView that encompasses the given locations Renders LineDrive map images of the given Route The render service allows you to render maps of routes and found locations, place pushpins (using the MapPoint Web Service stock set of icons or your icons that we host for your use), set the map size and map view, select points on a map, get location information about points on a map, pan and zoom a rendered map, and create clickable maps.
