Finally, one with searching of business names! Can’t wait to try it, thanks!
Can someone explain how 3rd parties are doing this and Bing can’t? This is maddening, actually. Bing is a downgrade from my Windows Mobile 6.5 device.
This app looks good, but we still can’t search for a Contact or even press and hold an address in other parts of the OS and send it to the app. I just want a normal GPS/directions app that is standard on all other smartphone devices.
