Two main things missing from Bing app (formerly Livesearch). And yeah, Bing app is still the best free GPS navigation app.
From what I understand of the app, it doesn't even have a basemap before 2 or more users drive down the road and "map" it for them. It will eventually give real time traffic if literally hundreds of thousands of people are running this while driving across the US. It is a good concept, but I don't think they will be able to get the user base to make this feasible or functional. If Google Maps tried this, MAYBE it would work due to how many phones it can function on.

IDK, certainly interesting.
