New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 
Anyone else having a problem with the Bing GPS? It can never locate me and because of that, I can't use the GPS for turn by turn directions. Is there a fix to this issue? My Google Maps works fine btw.

To run Quickgps, I have to set download satellites automatically on?

or you can manually do it, its good to do it once a week.

Go into your bing settings for GPS and change first select "Use GPS" then change the gps source from GPS intermediate driver to COM4. That will fix your problem.
Worked for me.

Wrong. Turning on BT has nothing to do with the GPS. (unless you use and external GPS puck).

See my post above for turning on GPS and choosing COM4 within Bing and that fixes it.

ps, I took a deep breath before I posted this. :headbang:

Only if you're using an external BT GPS receiver.

I don't really like the new Bing as half the things I have searched for said "no result found" & Google finds those same items instantly, but Bing does find my location with no problem (so does Google)

GPS works with the new Bing for me but there is stupid-crazy lag. Of all the GPS apps I've tried I've never seen lag like I get with the new Bing app.
