That's not DAX, it is Power Query.
let FindLoc= (lat, lon) => let Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/"&Replacer.ReplaceText(Text.From(lat),",",".")&","&Replacer.ReplaceText(Text.From(lon),",",".")&"?o=xml&key=AqXbM3RmYA05LA89D0jBdRSYxgrYNUOwSNEsDS2G9aXaYBqFDOIYDT8IPoHKhJRp")), #"Removed Other Columns" = try Table.SelectColumns(Source{0}[ResourceSets]{0}[ResourceSet]{0}[Resources]{0}[Location]{0}[Address],{"FormattedAddress", "Locality"}) otherwise #table({"FormattedAddress","Locality"},{{"undefined","undefined"}}) in #"Removed Other Columns" in FindLoc

Thanks for your answer which perfectly works.
But I I wan to get 2 columns (lacationName and AdressLocality for example), should I create 2 function (one for each information) or can I return 2 columns (or a table) as the result of my function ?

Yes, you can modify my proposal to return a table rather than a scalar value, for example via Table.SelectColumns
