Given that the mapkit doesn\'t provide forward geocoding functionality today, can anyone provide help on how I can i use a search bar to return a latitude and longitude coor
It's a known issue with the current version of MapKit. File a bugreport and dupe #6628720 so they make fixing it a priority.
In the meantime, there are forward Geocoding APIs from Google Maps, via Yahoo Placemaker, or Cloudmade.
