Bing for WinMo - GPS issue

snowmaiden11 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-11-2010, 03:24 PM

Has anyone tried using the updated Bing! for WinMo? It says it's capable of turn-by-turn voice navigation and early reports say it's pretty decent for a free app. I had no issue installing it, but for some reason it's not finding my location at all. I thought it might be a phone issue but Google Maps is pinpointing me without any problem. It's using the "GPS Intermediate Driver" - should I put it on a different setting?

Is anyone else having this issue?

Sometimes I have that issue. I reset the phone and it works again.

I had to turn my bluetooth on for it to use the GPS on my TP2. It was the only way i could get it to work.

Hmm...I tried both options and nada. Still stuck on the "Locating..." screen. Anyone else have any ideas? Having voice navigation without having to pay for Sprint Navigation would be awesome, so I really want this new Bing to work

Try updating QuickGPS and see if that helps.

Also, if I have trouble getting a lock for some reason I exit the app first. Then I run cleanRam. Then I reopen the app and try again. That seems to always work.

Thanks for the suggestions - nothing seems to be working :/ Anyone else try the NEW bing (came out today) and have any problems?

I loaded it and it finds me pretty quickly. I didn't really do anything different to "make it work" or anything. I wish I had an answer for you.

I suggest you uninstall it then soft reset and then re-install.
