Re: bing mobile updated now with turn by turn directions

Microsoft's answer to Android getting free voice turn by turn. Figured they would save it for 7.
Google might not mind bringing theirs over to winmo now.

Re: bing mobile updated now with turn by turn directions

It displays an initial prompt that the Sprint TP2 is not officially supported. It works, though it is slow to load. The zoom factors and detail is not up to what Google Map displays, but not too bad. The search/suggestion functionality works ok. Spoken directions also work here in Paradise.

It won't install on my Vogue (Sprint Touch, QVGA) -- error message says "resolution not supported". I hope someone is clever enough to port this for other resolutions.

Directions work as always, but navigation doesn't work in Canada. Message says you are trying to navigate outside the United States.

Re: bing mobile updated now with turn by turn directions

Overall the program runs slow but works great. Nice to have turn by turn with traffic routing.
