I have a Visual Studio 2008 console application. I have a list of locations. I want to add them to the map and then copy/paste the map into Excel.

My first question is - can I do this with a console application? Or would the map need to be on a windows form and then copy/pasted to Excel?

I am successfully called the Bing Maps Geocoder - that's where I got the lat/lon's, so I am part of the way there.

Now I'm not sure if my next step should be just to set up the RouteRequest object and pass to the routeService?

Or because I want these points to show up on the map, do I need to use the Imagery Service first?

I don't care about the route directions, but I do want the route line to be connecting the stops.

Thanks!
Eric
