Great job Steve.
When v5 of Bing came out I took it on a very extended test for over 3 weeks, seeing if I could stump it. I had iGo 8 running on another device while Bing was running on my Imagio, to see if there were any major issues.

I was pleasantly surprised that Bing actually did a very good job of stay accurate. One thing I dont like is the voices MS is using. They need to be crisper and clearer for this to be a real product.

The accuracy is really nothing I did. It is a product of the updated GPS drivers, along with some updated middleware that seems to be doing the trick. In v2 we have more updated components, so I am anxious to see if the accuracy stays as good. This is the kind of stuff people need to test to ensure I am making this the best ROM it can be.
