Re: bing mobile updated now with turn by turn directions

Tried this, and for free is good. But I'm keeping Telenav (even though it's $10 a month) because

1) Bing doesn't tell you the "next turn" when it's right on top of your current one (important to not miss a turn in city driving)
2) Telenav gives a better route (Bing sent me on a highway when an obvious short cut existed)
3) Bing grabs a chunk of about 5MB of memory and won't let it go even when it exits (but doesn't seem to grab any more if you restart it again)
4) I like Telenav's voice better (I know, personal preference) but I do wish I could adjust the volume of it
5) I like the screen that Telenav uses better (especially the direction going on top of screen instead of North)

Just my opinion. To some, it may not be worth the extra $10 a month
