Minimalistic (essential)  approach how to make inheritance work on JavaScript objects without much ceremony, using core JavaScript features like prototype and constructor.

enjoy futuristic design, UI, get inspired by the movie Oblivion for your next project…

Changes :

- for migration you have to add before migration System.Core into the project (had to edit manualy proj file and add it there)

-Change from *.Controls.Map to *Map.Controls

- XAML definition

 <maps:Map x:Name=”sampleMap”

 LandmarksEnabled=”False”

 Loaded=”sampleMap_Loaded”

 CartographicMode=”Hybrid”                   

 Center=”49.320574,16.68942″

 ZoomLevel=”14″ />

Loading TileSource:

private void sampleMap_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

MapsSettings.ApplicationContext.ApplicationId = “<applicationid>”;

MapsSettings.ApplicationContext.AuthenticationToken = “<authenticationtoken>”;

TileSource wmsTileSource = new WMSTile();

sampleMap.TileSources.Add(wmsTileSource);

}

..then in your TileSource you can use as usual your method GetUri.

Sample code based on Microsoft Sample can be downloaded here: www.sumbera.com/lab/WP8/WMSonWP8.zip

Few quick test and it shows this:

- SDKDemos sometimes freezes when using Satellite/Hybrid  map

- no direct support for tile overlays, see also this:

-nice 3D building appear in certain cities

-supports rotation and tilting

-they have created their own API making transition form MapKit not smooth (unlike MapQuest iOS map API that is drop-in replacement for MapKit )

in summary : nice, smooth maps, that sometime freezes whole app. Tested on iPad3
