Bing! Why, Bing?

I see people talking here and there about using Bing for GPS-enabled mapping. One person mentions that it beeps at the turns. Another talks about the Locate Me feature.

WHY WON'T MY BING WORK?

LOL...

I generally prefer Google applications to MS ones, and I do use Google Maps. However, the potential functionality of Bing really makes me want to use it. However....when I try to use the Bing GPS, I get an error message nearly immediately about the Locate Me feature. When I try to click elsewhere to Change Location and then use Use GPS Location, when it works it places me in the middle of the ocean.

I have Google Maps GPS working with the setting for Windows to manage it, and it works.

I have GPS Weather Radar set to COM8, 576000 baud, and it works.

GPSViewer just works.

Bing GPS won't work whether I set it to COM8 or intermediate drivers.

What I am doing wrong?

And if it's NOT me...if it's Bing....WHY, Bing, WHY? It's a Microsoft product running on Windows Mobile. (6.5 23409, if it matters).

Please....share your wisdom.....
