The new bing with turn by turn directions and intrepid

I'm sure most people have head about this now:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=120877

and the fix to make it work with the intrepid by disabling the update checker.
---
1. Locate the directory where the Bing app was installed (this depends on whether it was your storage card or internal memory )
\Program Files\Bing\

2. Locate the "Bing.config" file.

3. Open the config file (or a copy of the file if you want to be safe) in any text editor, whether on your PC, Mac, or on the phone itself. ( I copied the file to a PC and used Word Pad.

4. locate this line:
<add key="UseAppServerUpdates" value="True"/>

5. change the above line to the following:
<add key="UseAppServerUpdates" value="False"/>

(note: you changed one word from True to False)

6. Put the modified file back where you found it, with the same name as when you found it.

7. Launch Bing. Turn on GPS or do whatever you usually do to get the nag. You shouldn't get the nag anymore.

----

However, I have a few questions.

1. How do you add a favorite? When I go to favorites, it says you have no favorites, start searching to add favorites. Search where? How do I add once I find one? - NEVERMIND, YOU HAVE TO GO TO MAP VIEW, somehow, but it's hard to get back there!

2. Why does it not show up when using contacts, etc, and why does the bing option for look up by contact for an address say I have no contacts with addresses? This problem didn't exist on the other bing.

3. Any way to fix display resolution, like for the main screen?

4. Anyone notice strange crashes?

Thanks!
