i need to fetch point of interest data giving my zipcode or address.To fetch POI i am using findNearBy in FindService.But find near by does not take adress or zip code values.It only takes lat/long values.
So, i need to convert my address or zipcode to lat/long values first.Iam using FindAddress to do this.
The problem is the datasource iam passing in findAddress is not supported by findNearBy.
Can anybody help me on this..?

You can attempt to get the geocode using the Bing Geocode Web Services rather
than the older FindNearby. It helps if you can clarify which country you are
attempting this in too.

I would recommend you go over the entire Bing Web Services for your solution
- Geocode, Route, Imagery, Search (Use search for POI related items).

I wrote an article about how to handle Bing Web Services in Java. Check out
