I’m trying to make my own cycle app.
When I start the app, I press a button … now I want to measure how far (distance) I’ve cycled. When I’m done, I want to draw my route on a map.
How do I do this? Any sample of this somewhere? .. and I guess I need to wait for a perfect GPS signal before measuring distance … how do I do this?
Thanks!!!

MSDN has a documentation explaining the use of Location on the phone at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431803(v=vs.92).aspx
There is also a sample app for capturing location information at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=229128
To get an approximate measure of the distance travelled, you could use calls to
GeoCoordinate.GetDistanceToto measue the distance between each point captured. The accuracy of this would be dependent on the number of points gathered on the journey.
