@wesleyfavarin Thanks for your response. I do not believe that the solution you gave would be an exact answer for my challenge. The link provides a way to incorporate native maps api across android[Google maps], iOS[Mapsconnect] and Windows[Bing] platforms. The requirement here is using "Bing maps" on Android and iOS. Kindly let me know if I'm not clear. Thanks again.
Hi,
On Windows phone you won't need to do anything extra to have Bing maps. On iOS and Android you'll need to find the bing maps SDK and create bindings to consume these. If you want to use this with Forms you'll then want to create a consistent API across the platforms.

@wesleyfavarin I checked the provided link and it is outdated and all the links in the article are unavailable including the sdk zip file link.
