This will use a Grid inside a MapOverlay, and works pretty well...

 var textGrid = new Grid();
textGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition(){Width = GridLength.Auto});
textGrid.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black){Opacity = 0.7};
var distText = new TextBlock();
distText.Margin = new Thickness(8,4,8,4);
distText.Text = <your text>;
distText.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
textGrid.Children.Add(distText);

var textOverlay = new MapOverlay { Content = textGrid, GeoCoordinate = midwayCoord };

var layer = new MapLayer();
layer.Add(textOverlay);
Map.Layers.Add(layer);
Map.MapElements.Add(line);
