Answer 2

Hello ,

Thanks for the reply.I am confused because i came across the msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207045(v=vs.105).aspx  which says Bing maps will be deprecated.

So is Bing maps a feasible solution as currently I am developing the app for Windows Phone 7.5 which will be later ported to Windows Phone 8.

Please help!

Answer 3

Bing maps is the recommended solution for wp 7.5.  In wp8 it was replaced by nokia maps. Remember all wp7.5 apps run on wp8

Answer 4
