Bing Maps Bounding box for UWP

Question

According to this MSDN page, there was a nice way of finding the coordinates of corners of the bounding box for Bing Maps until Windows 8. The function mentioned in the link is LocationRectangle .

We're developing a Universal application for Windows 10 and there seems to be no way to get the bounding box. Is there a library or plugin that enables us to do so? Or is there a function that we are missing?

Answer 1

You can use the GetLocationFromOffset function. Using this for each corner of the view will give you the same result.

See MSDN link

Answer 2

What is wrong with following? ( Area being a GeoBoundingBox )

area.NorthwestCorner.Latitude,
area.NorthwestCorner.Longitude,
area.SoutheastCorner.Latitude,
area.SoutheastCorner.Longitude

Or is that not enough?
