</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!--TitlePanel contains the name of the application and page title-->

</Grid>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

Step 6 : Write the code of the Location button.

Code

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (man == null)
{
man = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.High);
man.StatusChanged += loc_StatusChanged;
}
if (man.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Disabled)
{
man.StatusChanged -= loc_StatusChanged;
MessageBox.Show("Location service install in your phone");
return;
}
man.Start();
}

Step 7 : Write the code of the allocated pushpin location.

Code

void loc_StatusChanged(object sender, GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Ready)
{
Pushpin pin = new Pushpin();
pin.Template = this.Resources["pinMyLoc"] as ControlTemplate;
pin.Location = man.Position.Location;
mapControl.Items.Add(pin);
map1.SetView(man.Position.Location, 15.0);
man.Stop();
}
}

Step 8 : Write the final code of the pushpin allocation of the maninpage.aspx.cs page.

Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using System.Device.Location;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps;
namespace TomApplication
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
map1.ZoomBarVisibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
map1.LogoVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
map1.CopyrightVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
map1.Mode = new AerialMode();
}
private GeoCoordinateWatcher man = null;
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (man == null)
{
man = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.High);
man.StatusChanged += loc_StatusChanged;
}
if (man.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Disabled)
{
man.StatusChanged -= loc_StatusChanged;
MessageBox.Show("Location service install in your phone");
return;
}

man.Start();
}
void loc_StatusChanged(object sender, GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Ready)
{
Pushpin pin = new Pushpin();
pin.Template = this.Resources["pinMyLoc"] as ControlTemplate;
pin.Location = man.Position.Location;
mapControl.Items.Add(pin);
map1.SetView(man.Position.Location, 15.0);
man.Stop();
}
}
}
}

Step 9 : Press Crtl + F5 to run application.
