I am having a strange problem with the use of MapLocationFinder.
I am using MapLocationFinder to retrieve longitude and latitude based on string address:
string address = ""; // Any address here
var locFinderResult = await MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAsync(address, new Geopoint(new BasicGeoposition()));
After this, I use Laucher to start "drive to" application and get navigation map:
var geoPos = locFinderResult.Locations[0].Point.Position;
var url = $"ms-drive-to:?destination.latitude={geoPos.Latitude.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)}&destination.longitude={geoPos.Longitude.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)}&destination.name={address}";
var driveToUri = new Uri(url);
await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(driveToUri);
Up until recently this worked just fine on all devices. I was not required any token or anything, since I am not implementing Map control in XAML. However, a couple days ago I started receiving "InvalidCredentials" response for locFinderResult. It still works on only one device. I have never used any credentials so I don't know why it only works on this one.
Does anyone knows what could cause this issue?
It looks like from some recent time Microsoft requires you to get the key from the Bing Maps Developers Center to use this functionality. See, the instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/maps-and-location/authentication-key
