    Hi there,

    i am trying to navigate to a given address for example i have two random address on listbox e.g.

    125 Dallow Road, Luton //uk address

    i want to navigate from its current location to this address but i am unable to do that. I've been reading geobase documentation to help myself out but no luck. I mean the only way i found to forward geocode address is either drilldown or geocoder which uses geostreamrepos// remote data sources.

    How do i search for a street from the MAP DATA and get its latlon. Is there a way to do it??

    Please help me

    Regards

    Hi Asad,

    Which of our APIs are you using? On Desktop/Silverlight/Javascript, you can use Forward Geocoding, which maps an address string to a LatLon value. You can read about this here.

    If you are using our GeoBase Mobile API, then local Forward Geocode is unavailable due to resource limitations. In these circumstances, you will need to use the Drill Down GeoCoder - see our MobileNav sample for an example of how this can be used.

    Thanks,

    Alex
