 # Getting Started with UWP Map (SfMaps)
 
-This repository contains sample to getting started with the [Syncfusion UWP Map](https://help.syncfusion.com/uwp/map/getting-started) control.
+This sample demonstrates how to create a UWP Map using the Syncfusion `SfMap` control.
 
-## Syncfusion controls
+## Prerequisites
 
-This project used the following Syncfusion control(s):
-* [SfMaps](https://www.syncfusion.com/uwp-ui-controls/map)
+- Visual Studio 2022 or later
+- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0 or later)
+- [Syncfusion.SfMaps.UWP](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Syncfusion.SfMaps.UWP) NuGet package (latest)
 
-## Requirements to run the sample
+## Adding Assembly Reference
 
-* [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
-* Windows 10 SDK
+### Option 1: Via NuGet Package Manager
 
-Refer to the following link for more details - [System Requirements](https://help.syncfusion.com/uwp/system-requirements)
+1. Right-click on the project in **Solution Explorer** and select **Manage NuGet Packages**.
+2. Search for `Syncfusion.SfMaps.UWP` and install it.
 
-## How to run the sample
+### Option 2: Via Extension Reference
 
-1. Clone the sample and open it in Visual Studio.
+1. Open the **Add Reference** window from your project.
+2. Choose **Windows > Extensions > Syncfusion Controls for UWP XAML**.
 
-   *Note: If you download the sample using the "Download ZIP" option, right-click it, select Properties, and then select Unblock.*
-
-2. Register your license key in the App.cs file as demonstrated in the following code.
+## Adding Namespace
 
-		public App()
-		{
-			//Register Syncfusion license
-			Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
+After adding the reference, include the following namespace in your `MainPage.xaml`:
 
-			this.InitializeComponent();
-			this.Suspending += OnSuspending;
-		}
-
-	Refer to this [link](https://help.syncfusion.com/uwp/licensing/overview) for more details.
-
-3. Clean and build the application.
+```xml
+xmlns:syncfusion="using:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Maps"
+```
 
-4. Run the application.
+## Initializing the Map (XAML)
 
-## License
+In `MainPage.xaml`, initialize `SfMap` by adding a `ShapeFileLayer` and setting the `Uri` property to point to your shape file:

+            </syncfusion:SfMap.Layers>
+        </syncfusion:SfMap>
+    </Grid>
+</Page>
+```
+
+## Initializing the Map (Code-Behind)
+
+Alternatively, you can create the map entirely in C# code-behind:
+
+```csharp
+using Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Maps;
+
+// Initializing the map
+SfMap syncMap = new SfMap();
+
+// Creating and configuring the shape file layer
+ShapeFileLayer layer = new ShapeFileLayer();
+layer.Uri = "MapsGettingStarted_Sample.Assets.ShapeFiles.world1.shp";
+
+// Adding the layer to the map
+syncMap.Layers.Add(layer);
+
+// Adding map to the Grid
+mainGrid.Children.Add(syncMap);
+```
