Actually it's quite simple:

  • For Bing Maps add reference to Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps. This DLL should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Libraries

  • Than change

xmlns:maps="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Maps"

to

xmlns:maps="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps"

And that's all now you are using Bing Maps
