Re: Would you still keep Google Maps app after installing Garmin Mobile XT?

Bing now does turn-by-turn and demolishes Google maps on like-devices. Better for everything. Some of you can't grasp WM devices have 1/2 the RAM and CPU as new Droid devices.

Bing runs great just close up background apps.

Garmin WM is useful since it doesn't need DATA. Also you can download 2009 maps if not newer. It's locked to the card it's installed with but search around for methods to move to a larger card.

M$ should be making leaps and bounds with their mobile Bing. For AndroidOS to have a free Nav app like Google Nav... I mean seriously! M$ get it together! How can they justify an app that works like molassas? It's THEIR OS! Write some decent code!
