Here are the steps to add a map and point on the map.
1) Add a reference to Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps
2) Drag a ‘Map’ Windows Phone Control to the Page xaml.
3) Register on Bing Maps Portal and obtain an ID or Key. Without this the map will display not register message.
4) Add the key obtained above to the xaml code. Modify the xaml created by dragging the control and dropping it on the page.
<Microsoft_Phone_Controls_Maps:Map Name="map1" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<Microsoft_Phone_Controls_Maps:Map.CredentialsProvider>
<Microsoft_Phone_Controls_Maps:ApplicationIdCredentialsProvider ApplicationId="your key here" />
</Microsoft_Phone_Controls_Maps:Map.CredentialsProvider>
</Microsoft_Phone_Controls_Maps:Map>
5) Go to the code behind
6) Add a using statement to reference the map control
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps.Platform;
7) Add an instance variable for the page
MapLayer PinLayer1;
8) Create a pin and location
Pushpin MyPin = new Pushpin();
MyPin.Location = new Location();
9) Set the Lat and Lon for the location.
MyPin.Location.Latitude = 27.96206353406851;
MyPin.Location.Longitude = -82.44960308074951;
10) Add a label to the Pin
MyPin.Content = "KForce";
11) Create a Map Layer
PinLayer1 = new MapLayer();
12) Add Pin to Layer
PinLayer1.Children.Add(MyPin);
13) Add Layer to map
map1.Children.Add(PinLayer1);
14) Center and Zoom on the location
map1.Center = MyPin.Location;
map1.ZoomLevel = 9;
Happy Coding
