Now back to the menu, select "Use GPS" and it works for me.

Thanks mharvey...

You don't have to change it to set manually, just let Windows manage it. That's how it's designed to work.

Just tried MS Live Search and holy crap - blows Google Maps out of the water for usability and is much more stable for me.

With Google Maps my phone was crashing twice a day for no reason. MS Live Search has no problems yet and I LOVE speech recognition! Great for when you are driving.

Does MS Live Search have turn by turn voice navigation?

i couldn't get igo8 to work on the Touch Pro

I am using Google Maps and yes there is a lag on the TP.

I haven't tried to install iGuidance on the Pro yet, I just use Google Maps because it's easy to install. Too lazy to hook my phone up to the PC and install the program.

I'm loving Tom Tom 7 as well!

Sadly no, it doesn't I don't think any good free ones have turn by turn navigation yet. I really do hope that someday we get that though.

MS Live Search definitely blows Google out of the water though... it's rare that I can say MS impressed me, but it seems to be happening more often the last couple of years

Were you able to run it on the touch pro. I have iGuidance 4 and it installed properly and connected to the satellites. but when I was driving it was just not refreshing

Every now and then, I tap on the phone screen and it wakes up and then refreshed. kinda got annoying after a while.

Please let me know how you managed to set it up
