Re: Live Search Update Thread - v2.5 - update 5/16/2008
I have also posted this directly at a seemingly official MS site, but I think my chances of getting a helpful response are better here... I live in a densely populated county with many local movie theaters. When I search for movies using the Live Search Movies icon on my Sprint Touch, the theater results are within my state, but none are in my county. One result is over 100 miles away. Toolbar searches for "movie" and my location work fine, and searches using other icons work fine - Categories, Map, Directions, Traffic, Gas Prices, Collections, Web, and Weather give me localized information. It's just the Movies icon that does not work. Can I re-set or clear out whatever default information the icon link is using? |

Sorry if this has been asked before but which one is better for free gps navigation google maps or live search?
Any site where it shows the differences / comparisons? thanks ps: i have an wm6 htc touch with gps |
Re: Live Search Update Thread - v2.5 - update 5/16/2008
They're both good... though I prefer WLS... but when it comes right down to it, Sprint Nav, with its automatic traffic rerouting, is well worth the money...

I second that. Live search right now is the better app simply for the reason being that it gives you real time distance count down in miles to the next turn, then updates itself with information for the next up coming turn.
Googlemaps does not do this. You can see where you are relative to the map but once you get to a turn you have to click the "Next" button to see information for the next turn. I also like the gas price feature on WLS as well as the movie info. WLS has alot of features that are very well integrated. The only thing that would make this the PERFECT app would be voice turn by turn instructions, and have the map always facing north in the direction you are driving. |

The only thing that Google Maps has that WLS does not is a Transit option, you can get the time the train or bus is going to show up. That is only good if you use Public Transportation, other then that WLS is way better then google.
