The type or namespace pushPin could not be found in Windows Phone 8

Question

When I'm trying to add a pushPin to map I am getting an error "The type or namespace pushPin could not be found in Windows Phone 8". Can anyone tell me what is the reference that I'm missing. I am using default maps by windows phone

Code that I'm using to add pushpin is as below.

MapLayer layer = new MapLayer();
Pushpin pp = new Pushpin();
pp.GeoCoordinate = MyGeoPosition;
MapOverlay overlay1 = new MapOverlay();
overlay1.Content = pp;
overlay1.GeoCoordinate = MyGeoPosition;
layer1.Add(overlay1);
myMap.Layers.Add(layer);

Thanks in Advance !!!

try this

MapLayer layer = new MapLayer();
Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse();
ellipse.Width = 25;
ellipse.Height = 25;
ellipse.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(75, 200, 0, 0));
MapOverlay overlay1 = new MapOverlay();
overlay1.Content = ellipse;
overlay1.GeoCoordinate = MyGeoPosition;
layer1.Add(overlay1);
myMap.Layers.Add(layer);

Hope this helps.
