How to add the "you're here" marker in Bing Maps Control

Question

How do you add the "you're here" marker to the Bing Maps control? By telephone, this is represented as a circle squared, and then there is an outer circle representing the accuracy of the location.
It looks like you could do this with pushpin and polgon, but I hope there is an easier / better way.

Answer 1

You can use the GeoCoordinateWatcher class, which gives your current location, and then add a simple button. I do not think that pressing a button is a poor choice and / or difficult to use.

GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher();

GeoCoordinate loc = watcher.Position.Location;

if (loc.IsUnknown == true)
{
    // Cannot retrieve the GPS position
    return;
}

MyBingMap.SetView(loc, 17);

MapLayer pushPinLayer = new MapLayer();

MyBingMap.Children.Add(pushPinLayer);

Pushpin p = new Pushpin();

p.Content = "YOU ARE HERE";
p.Location = loc;

pushPinLayer.AddChild(p, loc, PositionOrigin.BottomLeft);
