Add a Bing Map to Windows Phone 8.1 app (javascript)

Question

I'm trying to build an app for WP8.1 in javasript. This app just has to show a map and some pins taken from a KML file. I've managed to do it for a windows store app (desktop/tablet) but can't find any documentation for mobile phone apps.

I've found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn642089.aspx

But it uses XAML and VB/C#

and here some solutions: Map APIs for windows PHONE 8.1 in HTML, CSS, JS

but i tried them and don't succeed

is there an official guide to use Bing Maps in WP8.1 environment?

Thanks

You could try this stackoverflow.com/questions/24790300/… and jayway.com/2014/04/18/windows-phone-8-1-for-developers-maps — Prasanna Aarthi
Thank you for the comment. I tried the solutions on first link but the first is a code hack (which is really unsafe, as it's not supported for future updates), the second link leads to a page which is not a howto.. but an explanation of API changes in specific cases... i need something much more basic.. like create a map and add a simple pin :) Thank anyway!! — jabba
You have already done that for windows store app, so doesn't the same code work here?Its a winRT app right? — Prasanna Aarthi
Unfortunately I can't.. as for windows store APP i have to add a reference to the SDK in visual studio, thing that i'm not able to do it in WP environment, as explained here: stackoverflow.com/questions/23722058/… — jabba
