Turn By Turn On Your Windows Phone

When Google released Google Navigation, they definitely shook up the GPS world as turn by turn navigation was now available to the masses for a low price of $0.00/month. Coupled that with free traffic updates and Google’s strength in Search and you have a really powerful navigation device in the palm of your hand. You no longer had to bring other devices when you go on your trips and your phone became a lot more useful (not that it wasn’t already).

For those among us who use Windows Mobile devices, that itch to switch may have been great but those days may be gone! Microsoft has just released an update to their Bing application and it brings with it 2 changes: wallpaper and navigation! Yup, turn-by-turn navigation! On your phone, for the same low price that Google charges: $0.00/month!

Launching Bing earlier today provided me with a notification that an update was available and following through with it was simple enough.

Unfortunately, this service is only limited to the US and only for those on T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T networks. On top of that, it only supports a limited number of devices which seem to be the current models available on these networks so if you are using an older device, you might not be able to enjoy this navigation goodness.

Have you navigated with Bing today? How was your experience?
