Introduction

This article shows how to display Nokia Maps (instead of Bing tiles) on Windows Phone using the Bing Map Control.

Creating the project

Open Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010 and create a new 'Application Project' named NokiaMaps
Chose O.S 7.1

References

Add following references by right clicking 'Reference' > 'Add reference'

Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps
Microsoft.Phone.Controls
System.Device

NokiaMapTile.cs

Copy NokiaMapsTile.cs provided in sourcecode Media:NokiaMapsWP7.zip, into your project directory
Let's add to project by right clicking on 'Project Name' -> 'Add' -> 'Exsiting element' and select NokiaMapsTile.cs
Adjust namespace name NokiaMaps inside NokiaMapsTile.cs as appropriate with your project namespace

Provide your Nokia Maps token and app id. Note that these are mandatory for released apps.

private string token  = "<YOUR NOKIA MAPS TOKEN>";
private string app_id = "<YOUR NOKIA MAPS APP ID>";

MainPage.xaml

Open MainPage.xaml and add Map component to project. Now add the following lines:

xmlns:NokiaMapsSource="clr-namespace:NokiaMaps"    
xmlns:MSPCMCore="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps.Core;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps"

<my:Map Height="634" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="map" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="456" CredentialsProvider="<YOU BING CREDENTIAL>" 
CopyrightVisibility="Collapsed" LogoVisibility="Collapsed" ScaleVisibility="Visible">
                <my:Map.Mode>
                    <MSPCMCore:MercatorMode/>
                </my:Map.Mode>
 
                <my:MapTileLayer Name="street" Margin="0,0,0,32" Height="647" Width="475">
                    <my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                        <NokiaMapsSource:NokiaMapsTile TileTypes="Street"/>
                    </my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                </my:MapTileLayer>
 
                <my:MapTileLayer Visibility="Collapsed" Name="wateroverlay" Margin="0,0,0,32">
                <my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                    <NokiaMapsSource:NokiaMapsTile TileTypes="WaterOverlay"/>
                </my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
            </my:MapTileLayer>
 
            <my:MapTileLayer Visibility="Collapsed" Name="hybrid" Margin="0,0,0,32">
                <my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                    <NokiaMapsSource:NokiaMapsTile TileTypes="Hybrid"/>
                </my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
            </my:MapTileLayer>
 
            <my:MapTileLayer Visibility="Collapsed" Name="satellite" Margin="0,0,0,32">
                <my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                    <NokiaMapsSource:NokiaMapsTile TileTypes="Satellite"/>
                </my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
            </my:MapTileLayer>
 
            <my:MapTileLayer Visibility="Collapsed" Name="physical" Margin="0,0,0,32">
                <my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
                    <NokiaMapsSource:NokiaMapsTile TileTypes="Physical"/>
                </my:MapTileLayer.TileSources>
          </my:MapTileLayer>
</my:Map>
<Button Content="Zoom In" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="6,535,0,0" Name="buttonZoomIn" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="207" Click="buttonZoomIn_Click" />
<Button Content="Zoom Out" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="243,535,0,0" Name="buttonZoomOut" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="207" Click="buttonZoomOut_Click" />

Zoom control

Open MainPage.xaml.cs and add following lines

private void buttonZoomIn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     double zoom;
     zoom = map.ZoomLevel;
     map.ZoomLevel = ++zoom;
}
 
private void buttonZoomOut_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     double zoom;
     zoom = map.ZoomLevel;
     map.ZoomLevel = --zoom;
}

Now you are ready to start using Nokia Maps !!!

Adding Markers

MapLayer m_PushpinLayer = new MapLayer();
map.Children.Add(m_PushpinLayer);
 
// Reasonable stab at center of Seattle metro area
map.SetView(new GeoCoordinate(41.89001, 12.495346), 10);
 
// Create and Add a few push pins
Pushpin pushpin1 = new Pushpin();
pushpin1.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
pushpin1.Location = new GeoCoordinate(45.463983, 9.187946);    // Milan
 
Pushpin pushpin2 = new Pushpin();
pushpin2.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);
pushpin2.Location = new GeoCoordinate(37.066684, 15.282555);       // Siracusa
 
Pushpin pushpin3 = new Pushpin();
pushpin3.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
pushpin3.Location = new GeoCoordinate(37.102357, 15.124986);    // Solarino
 
m_PushpinLayer.AddChild(pushpin1, pushpin1.Location);
m_PushpinLayer.AddChild(pushpin2, pushpin2.Location);
m_PushpinLayer.AddChild(pushpin3, pushpin3.Location);
 
map.ZoomLevel = 6;
