Bing Navigation in Action

Here's a video of this morning's Bing for Windows Mobile beta upgrade that adds free text-to-speech voice prompt navigation instructions.

If you've got the Bing Beta on your device already, you can upgrade via the Update menu or by visiting http://m.bing.com/download in your phone's browser. Not all Windows Mobile devices may be supported at this time.

i don't see why everybody is talkin down on Bing, stop hating, i had google too on my G1 and it was nice, but now i got a TP2 and Bing also looks nice, obviously the people who hating don't have a TP2(some might), but oh well grow tha fuck up, use whatever u have whether it's Bing or Google and stop hating

How come this is better then the new bing navigation on windows phone 7? on windows phone 7 you have to keep touching the screen in order for voice navigation to work, also bing doesnt say the street name anymore, how odd that on newer phones bing navigation took a huge step back..How is that even possible?

[niraj3000]

Bing navigation no longer speaks the street names. Only says turn left or right. I have HTC TP2 running Win Mobile 6.5. Has anyone else faced the issue.

Is it internet based? Does it need an internet connection to work?

I have Bing maps navigation on my Dash 3G and it works just as well as my TomTom. One problem though, is there anyway that I can get it to prevent my phone from locking?

this just saved my life! the voice can be worked on but other than that its the best!

This looks fantastic :P. I've been checking to see if bing had this. Nav is the only thing that was keeping me on android when win 7 phones came out :).

I just downloaded this earlier on my hd2. Im very satisfied with it.  The navigation voice sure is ugly through lol. Other than that no problems

google nav interface does the same thing with a map view AND the distance and next turn... it's more integrated with all the google features, like buzz, tapping the destination with contacts, reviews etc.

i do like how the bing navigation makes the BING noise before the turn
