with windows phone 7 i am using teh bing map control. i have it working just fine. however, the zoom buttons (+,-) are at the bottom of the page and difficult to see.
The buttons have black border with black text. They are easy to see on a light map background, but with black background they are in essence hidden.
Does anyone have an idea on how to make them easier to see?
As invalidusername said you can use the pinching to zoom in and out and it is probably a better way to do it. But in my case I haven’t a device or touch screen so needed to use buttons in this way to test my map.
Rather than using the built-in zoom buttons I looked at the sample code from this tutorial which has icons for zoom in/out and data bound them to the zooming of the map. Adapting it to my needs. It works pretty well:

You can change the positioning/images etc.
As per DanielBallinger’s comment the link above seems to no longer work. The following does:
