Not with Bing Maps...you need the Bing Phonebook API to do this.
I can get you part of the way there. The below example combines the use of both the Bing Maps API and the Bing Phonebook API) I just submitted a similar question about how to find the type of business, however...I'm not sure there's a wayto do this :/ (Below example searches for all Starbucks in the area ...of course, some HTML integration is required.
var _map;
var _appId;
$(document).ready(function () {
if (Modernizr.geolocation) {
$(".geofallback").hide();
}
else {
$(".geofallback").show();
}
$.post("Home/GetBingMapsKey", { "func": "GetBingMapsKey" }, function (data) {
// Create a Bing map
_map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),
{ credentials: data }); //, mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.ordnanceSurvey
});
// Get the current position from the browser
if (!navigator.geolocation) {
$("#results").html("This browser doesn't support geolocation, please enter an address");
}
else {
$.post("Home/GetBingKey", { "func": "GetBingKey" }, function (data) {
_appId = data;
});
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionReady, onError);
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(Search, onError);
}
});
function onPositionReady(position) {
// Apply the position to the map
var location = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude);
_map.setView({ zoom: 18, center: location });
// Add a pushpin to the map representing the current location
var pin = new Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin(location);
_map.entities.push(pin);
}
function onError(err) {
switch (err.code) {
case 0:
