Generic Bing maps pushpin clustering component for WP7

A couple of weeks ago I wrote my own Windows Phone app Lovely Neighbourhood which is showing pushpins on the Bing maps control for Windows Phone 7. Because there where quit some pushpins close to each other I decided to use pushpin clustering (sometimes called marker clustering) to make map in the app look less chaotic than with all the pushpins on the map. (There where a few regions where you couldn't even see the map anymore.)

After a little search I found a blog post by Colin Eberhardt who has a guide to pushpin clustering in WP7. I started implementing and after a few changes it works fine in my app. But than I saw an app from my colleague which was not using pushpin clustering and also on his map view it was pretty hard to see the map. At that moment I started thinking about rewriting the pushpin clustering code in a generic way, so it would be easy to implement in any app.
