I've been on a mission with Virtual Earth this week   needing to quickly plot customers locations on a map.

I needed to find the longitude and latitude of a given location.   so what better way than to use the pan and scroll capability of the VE map to let the user find the location then quickly click to retrieve the location under the cursor.

This is what I came up with (just click to find the co-ordinates of where you are) -
