I am planing to start a GIS application for windows phone (7 and 8) and I have some important questions. Any idea will be appreciated!
1- Database Engine for WinPhone. Is SQLServer Compact the only option for database engine? Is there an alternative?
2- Does SQLServer Compact (or its alternative) support Spatial data?
3- Is there any libraries suitable for works like processing geo-spatial data? Rendering such data?…
SQL Server Compact is the built-in database for Windows Phone. However, if you can find other C#-based databases, they can probably be made to work.
I would expect any GIS library to be commercial. See for example Map Suite which is a Windows Phone GIS component.
You might be able to use some of the code from http://sharpmap.codeplex.com/ – but it targets .NET4.0 rather than Windows Phone.
