Hi… greate article but i have the same problem that Gary has..

Thought this might’ve been possible.
However the app only works for me in Debugging mode(F5) and not in Normal mode(CTRL-F5). In Normal mode, emulator remains blank . Strange !!.

In the phone is the same situation.. only in degub mode.. works.. in normal mode the application try to open and close…
What can be?

Is there a way to have an embed map of bing using the bird’s eye view but zoomed out? The default zoom is too close and can’t really show the whole neighborhood.

I’m trying to use some of these samples, but getting an error when trying to call the setValue method on the MapLayer. I know in Windows Phone 7 there is not SetPosition or SetValue static method, so i am using the instance method:

mlLayer1.SetValue(MapLayer.PositionProperty, loc);

The run time exception on this line is “‘10.748687,-10.985549,0′ is not a valid value for property ‘Position’.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Any chance that you will compile the app with the beta version and available for download? Thanks for the great work

Can someone explain why the emulator cannot show the sample maps mentioned in this communication? I have the same problem as Gary had. I found the problem is caused by the “System.Windows.Browser”. If I remove the System.Windows.Browser reference, display can show up. However, the map control requires the System.Windows.Browser reference. Without it the map control cannot be used. As a result, I cannot make any of the samples work. Have I missed anything? Thanks.
