windows phone 8 - How to display longitude and latitude coordinates on map (current location)

Question

Is there any way to display coordinates that i get from my current location on a simple map in c# windows phone 8 application?

This is the code that i use to get my current location. For now it only displays coordinates in textblock, but i need to convert it to display position on map.

private async void GetCurrentLocation()
    {
        Geolocator locationFinder = new Geolocator();
        try
        {
            Geoposition currentLocation = await locationFinder.GetGeopositionAsync(
            maximumAge: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120),
            timeout: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
            String longitude = currentLocation.Coordinate.Longitude.ToString("0.00");
            String latitude = currentLocation.Coordinate.Latitude.ToString("0.00");
            MyTextBlock.Text = "Long: " + longitude + "Lat: " + latitude;
        }
        catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("And exception occured!");
        }
    }

Any help is appreciated!Thanks!

If so you could use a PushPin to show the current location on a map .
