Windows phone 8 GeoFencing using Nokia Maps

Question

How do I go about achieving geofencing on nokia map for windows phone 8. Is it even possible, or should I use other maps api such as Google map? Please advice.

My Requirements: I want to be able to draw a radius on the selected location and when the user move within the radius he will receive a notification.

Answer 1

The new GeoCoordinateWatcher API deals with this in Windows Phone 8. Geofencing and Geolocation in WP8 formed a major part of the discussion in a recent webinar on the subject - the slides can be found here. Rather than repeat the code here, I would suggest that you look at the Track My Position example which can be found in the Windows Phone 8 Maps Examples project on projects.developer.nokia.com
