Is there any Birds eye map mode is available in, Windows phone 8 Nokia map. In the MapCartographicMode i only fond the following enum values.

 public enum MapCartographicMode
 {
    Road,
    Aerial,
    Hybrid,
    Terrain,
 }

Then how we implement Birds eye view in windows phone 8. Is there any other option available to set this mode.

Answer 1

Specify the MapCartographicMode for the map style that you want, and then set the Pitch property to a value between 0 and 180.

0 is the default value, which gives the flat map view. If you use a value around 60, this gives you a view that is more like the driving mode found in SatNav apps. Just tweak it to give the effect that you want.

If you want something more akin to the Bing "Birds Eye" view, then you will need to adjust the pitch based on the ZoomLevel (there is a ZoomLevelChanged or you could bind it to a view model property).
