<p>I'm trying to find the latitude and longitude of the corners of my map while in birdseye view.  I want to be able to plot pins on the map, but I have hundreds of thousands of addresses that I want to be able to limit to the ones that need to show on the map.</p>

<p>In normal view, VEMap.GetMapView().TopLeftLatLong and .BottomRightLatLong return the coordinates I need; but in Birdseye view they return blank (or encrypted values).  The SDK recommends using VEBirdseyeScene.GetBoundingRectangle(), but this returns bounds of up to two miles from the center of my scene which in major cities still returns way too many addresses.</p>

<p>In previous versions of the VE Control, there was an undocumented VEDecoder object I could use to decrypt the LatLong values for the birdseye scenes, but this object seems to have disappeared (probably been renamed).  How can I decode these values in version 6.1?</p>

According to
http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/
this should do the trick:
```
```
function GetInfo()         
{
  alert('The latitude,longitude at the center of the map is: '+map.GetCenter());         
}
```
```
