Other thing to know not mentioned here yet is that Livesearch gives you the distance left before the turn in real time and counts down as you get closer to it. Googlemaps does not. It also gives you a beep before the turn and a chirp as you make the turn.

If they were to only have th directions always facing north on the map it would be perfect, that and 3d mapping.

Here is the latest CAB I got from the site. I installed it and it installed as version 4.0.12158.1, so I think it is the one you need.

Definately agree... both need a direction travelling as up... most annoying it cant do that...
