How to add a reference to Bing Maps in a Windows 8 mobile application?

I have been trying to add a Bing Maps reference to my project but I can't find a reference when searching in the reference manage in Visual Studio 2013.I have installed the SDK in the extensions and updates window but still not able to get a reference to it.

Can someone tell me if it is a different process in adding Bing MAPS to a mobile application versus a tablet application? , as I have heard from other sources that it is but can't find any guide for it.

Is there a step I may be missing in adding maps to the project?

To clarify I have set the build to x86 and created a maps key which was added to the project.

In Windows Phone 8 primary maps provider is Nokia. If you want to add Bing Map, add a referrence to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Libraries\Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Maps.dll
