Image as pushpin on maps - Windows phone 8

Question

im trying to add a image to a windows phone 8 map, to serve as a pushpin

i have the following code on my XAML

Answer 1

Use the Phone.Controls.Toolkit as described here:-

http://wp.qmatteoq.com/maps-in-windows-phone-8-and-phone-toolkit-a-winning-team-part-1/

The toolkit can be found at either of

http://phone.codeplex.com/

or

https://www.nuget.org/packages/WPtoolkit

You can then either add the image directly in your XAML as follows:-

or you can add it in C# as follows:-

MapOverlay overlay = new MapOverlay
{
    GeoCoordinate = myMap.Center,
    Content = new Ellipse
    {
        Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red),
        Width = 40,
        Height = 40
     }
};
MapLayer layer = new MapLayer();
layer.Add(overlay);

myMap.Layers.Add(layer);

You should be able to add a Grid with an image instead of an ellipse as shown above.

Let me know if this worked for you.
