Bing Maps Ajax API v7 Geolocation call back

Question

I user Bing Maps Ajax v7 API to get user's location from the example [here][1] 

Is it possible to wait until the callback is executed and until I get a longitude, latitude for the user's position or an error if he/she does not allow to get the position?

        

function test() {              
//Call GetMap() to get position              
GetMap();              
//Wait until callback is finished             
//Do something with user's location (result of the callback)         
}                  
function GetMap()         {                        
// Set the map options            
var mapOptions = {credentials:"Bing Maps Key"};            
// Initialize the map            var map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("mapDiv"), mapOptions);            
// Initialize the location provider            
var geoLocationProvider = new Microsoft.Maps.GeoLocationProvider(map);            
// Get the user's current location            
geoLocationProvider.getCurrentPosition({successCallback:displayCenter});                      
//Execute some more code with user's location         
}         
function displayCenter(args)         {            
// Display the user location when the geo location request returns           
 alert("The user's location is " + args.center);         
}

Yes, the key is to create another function with the code you want to run after the position GeoLocationProvider calls one of the callbacks and then call that method in the callback.
