How to get a FREE Navigator for your Touch Pro2.

There is a way to have a free navigator on your TP2 and it is very simple. This is not a talking, high quality GPS but it will give you turn by turn directions and show your current location.

STEPS:
1. Download and install Bing.
2. Open Bing and click "Change Location" (under the search box).
3. Select current GPS, Wait and press "OK"
4. Click "Directions"
5. Your starting location should already be your current GPS location but if it is not click "new starting location"
6. Type in your destination
7. Press route then press map
8. click menu>track me using GPS
9. enjoy using your navigation system


PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST PM ME OR ASK THEM IN THE FORUM AND I WILL ANSWER.

THANKS

Why not use Google Maps? I use it very often for GPS and traffic.

Google maps doesn't follow your location and update the directions based on it. Bing does this so it continuously tells you how far u are from the next turn and more importantly if you make a wrong turn, it automatically gives u a new route. This is definitely the biggest shortcoming of google maps
