title: Is it possible to render a view from Bing Maps to a WriteableBitmap?
body: <p>Case: Windows Phone 7 (Mango) application. </p>
  
  <p>I have a list of (hundreds of ) items, containing a geocoordinate. Each item's parameter data is used to render an image, and these images are displayed in a listbox. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to render a WP7 Map element to a writeablebitmap? If not, is it possible to disable UI gestures from the map element, so it at least behaves like a static image?</p>
