If you are developing your application to target 256-MB devices, consider using a BingMapsTask instead of a Map control. Memory allocated for a BingMapsTask does not count towards the total memory usage of your application. This helps minimize the memory impact of your application, which is of particular importance when running on a 256-MB device.
