When I left work this afternoon it was clear and sunny but Live Search failed to get a lock after 10 minutes. I pulled over and started VisualGPS and the fix was instant. I started LiveSearch again and it picked right up on where I was.
I drove home using the LiveSearch navigation and it was spot on. Even told me to make the right turn into my driveway which was really interesting because my address is 100th Avenue but my driveway is around the corner on 7th Street.
I'm going to have to see about getting TomTom (or something like it) working. I really need the turn-by-turn. On my way to work this morning I was all discombobulated because LiveSearch displays it's map with North as up.... but I was driving South. So everything that was actually on my left, was displaying on the right. I made a left turn at a busy intersection and then a minute later noticed my right turn signal was on. LOL
Also, the LiveSearch directions are pretty sad. It keeps wanting me to go out on US41 and make U-turns.  |
It takes me forever too to get a lock with Live Search of with google. If you get TomTom working let us know! I would be real interested in using that. I ride a motorcycle mostly so the turn by turn would be awesome cuz it's hard to look at a screen and ride!
