XAML MapControl becomes black before loading

I'm using the XAML MapControl in Windows Phone 8.1 RT application. I have embedded the map on a page using <maps:MapControl>.

My problem is that whenever the page loads, the map control blacks out for a split second before displaying the actual map, thus providing a bad UX. I tried setting the opacity of the control to 0, and reset it to 1 in the Loaded event, but even then the map blacks out.

I have to wait for sometime in the Loaded event, say by using await Task.Delay(200) before resetting the opacity to 1 to solve the issue, but it's a hack.

How do I workaround this problem?

You can use the LoadingStatusChanged Event to change the opacity of your map control ..

Good luck :)
