3Create a new XAML page and add a Map element to it, setting the MapType and other properties as needed
4Use the Map.MoveToRegion method to set the initial map position and zoom level
5Customize the map by adding markers, polygons, and other overlays using the Map.Pins and Map.Overlays collections

Ready-to-paste prompt

Map map = new Map { MapType = MapType.Street }; map.MoveToRegion(MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(new Position(37.797529, -122.406417), Distance.FromMiles(1)));
