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
Bing used to be great. It worked evertime. Now they changed it so it won't work..Maybe sprint paid them so you have to use telenav
