            MapOverlay myLocationOverlay = new MapOverlay();
            myLocationOverlay.Content = myCircle;
            myLocationOverlay.PositionOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
            myLocationOverlay.GeoCoordinate = myGeoCoordinate;

            // Create a MapLayer to contain the MapOverlay.
            MapLayer myLocationLayer = new MapLayer();
            myLocationLayer.Add(myLocationOverlay);

            // Add the MapLayer to the Map.
            Bmap.Layers.Add(myLocationLayer);

            //Use google API to show POI
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            string baseUrl = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=" + position.Coordinate.Latitude + "," + position.Coordinate.Longitude + "&radius=1000&keyword=hospital&sensor=true";
            string googleResult = await client.GetStringAsync(baseUrl);
}


Someone told me to use google api to show the POI but i don't know how to use. I am beginner in WP app development. Plz help.

If you are a beginner, then maybe you should be reading the API documentation.
