This example application demonstrates how to build a simple application based on panorama control for Windows Phone using Microsoft Silverlight.
Support for Windows Phone 8 was made according to guidelines given in article http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Lumia/#!co-development-and-porting-guide.html. The solution consists of two top-level projects sharing the same source code, one targeting WP 7 and the other targeting WP 8. Bing Maps control is used in WP 7 project and the new Map control introduced in Windows Phone is used in WP 8 project.
