x:Class="MapTest.MainPage"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Page.BottomAppBar>
<commandbar>
<appbarbutton icon="Accept" label="appbarbutton">
<appbarbutton icon="Cancel" label="appbarbutton">

</Page.BottomAppBar>
<grid removed="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Maps:MapControl
x:Name="MapWorkArea"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="10,10,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="560" Width="380"
MapServiceToken="My Service Token"/>

</Page>


Code Behind as given below -
