Hello Chaps. Wondering if you could help me on this one.. Im trying to control my map with this c# code below. But for some reason its not doing anything when I call this method, and im not quite sure why?! Not sure if im using the .Equals properly?

C#

private void NW_zoom(object sender, ManipulationStartedEventArgs e)
    {
        GeoCoordinate abc = new GeoCoordinate(51.510, -0.1151);
        Map.CenterProperty.Equals(abc);

        var zoom = 12;
        Map.ZoomLevelProperty.Equals(zoom);
     }

XMAL map control:

 <maps:Map ZoomLevel="10" Mode="Road" Margin="0,0,0,54"   ZoomBarVisibility="Visible" ScaleVisibility="Visible" CredentialsProvider="xxxxxxx" Grid.Row="1">
       <maps:Map.Center>
            <device:GeoCoordinate Latitude="51.510669" Longitude="-0.11512800"/>
        </maps:Map.Center> 
        <maps:MapLayer  x:Name="QuakeLayer" Height="726" Width="477" /> 
    </maps:Map>
