Windows® Phone 8 Unleashed

Civic Address Resolution

CivicAddressResolver is supposed to be able to resolve a street address from a geographic coordinate. It has not, however, been fully implemented yet and is unable to resolve an address.

Note

In the 8.0 release of the Windows Phone OS, the CivicAddressResolver class has not been fully implemented.

In Chapter 18, “Incorporating Map-Based Positioning,” you see how to use the Maps Geocode Service to resolve an address from a geo coordinate, and vice versa.

The GeoLocationViewModel class demonstrates how to use the CivicAddressResolver, but the CivicAddressResolver.ResolveAddressCompleted handler always receives an unknown address value.
