In order to test MapLocationFinder you need to have a maps authentication key first.

Your Universal Windows app must be authenticated before it can use the MapControl and map services in the Windows.Services.Maps namespace. To authenticate your app, you must specify a maps authentication key.

Please see Request a maps authentication key.

Below is a simple search address function I wrote, you can refer to it.

<Grid>

     <Custom:MapControl x:Name="MapTest" Style="Aerial3DWithRoads"  ZoomInteractionMode="GestureAndControl"  
    TiltInteractionMode="GestureAndControl" Loaded="MapControl_Loaded"  MapServiceToken="your token">
         <SearchBox x:Name="searchBox" Width="150" Background="White" QuerySubmitted="SearchBox_QuerySubmitted"/>
     </Custom:MapControl>

 </Grid>

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
 {
     public MainPage()
     {
         this.InitializeComponent();
     }

     private async void SearchBox_QuerySubmitted(SearchBox sender, SearchBoxQuerySubmittedEventArgs args)
     {
         string addressToGeocode = searchBox.QueryText;

         // The nearby location to use as a query hint.
         BasicGeoposition queryHint = new BasicGeoposition();
         queryHint.Latitude = 47.643;
         queryHint.Longitude = -122.131;
         Geopoint hintPoint = new Geopoint(queryHint);

         // Geocode the specified address, using the specified reference point
         // as a query hint. Return no more than 3 results.
         MapLocationFinderResult result =
               await MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAsync(
                                 addressToGeocode,
                                 hintPoint,
                                 3);

         // If the query returns results, display the coordinates
         // of the first result.
         if (result.Status == MapLocationFinderStatus.Success)
         {
             
             BasicGeoposition cityPosition = result.Locations[0].Point.Position;
             var cityCenter = new Geopoint(cityPosition);

             await MapTest.TrySetViewAsync(cityCenter,12);
         }
     }

     private async void MapControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
         BasicGeoposition cityPosition = new BasicGeoposition() { Latitude = 47.604, Longitude = -122.329 };
         var cityCenter = new Geopoint(cityPosition);

         await(sender as MapControl).TrySetViewAsync(cityCenter, 12);
     }
 }

Hi @Luke Ferguson ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

As I have discussed before, google earth app is a very complex app, for us we only solve incident problems, so your questions should be specific and not broad. It is recommended to hire a team of experienced geospatial software developers who have built similar products or have the requisite experience to engineer an app like Google earth.

Hi @Luke Ferguson , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

It is recommended that you use UWP map control and set it to 3D style.

For more information, see Display maps with 2D, 3D, and Streetside views

<Page ... ... xmlns:Maps="using:Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps"> <Grid> <Maps:MapControl Style="Aerial3DWithRoads"/> </Grid> </Page>

Thank you.

Hi @Luke Ferguson ,

You need to open a Page(MainPage.xaml) , then the toolbox content will show up.
