Bing Maps Launcher

I'm aware of the Map control, but I would like to open bing maps app instead. Is there a way ? Otherwise, I'll do a Page that displays a Map con开发者_开发百科trol fullscreen

You can use a Bing Maps Task, and specify the location:

BingMapsTask bingMapsTask = new BingMapsTask();
bingMapsTask.Center = new GeoCoordinate(47.6204, -122.3493);
bingMapsTask.ZoomLevel = 2;

bingMapsTask.Show();

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

Short answer: no direct way to launch the Bing maps app.
