Anything in particular that you think makes Bing Maps better than Google Maps? (Other than the fact you cant use the google one on WP7 of course).

>>Well,m FWIW, I use Google Maps and search but leave the rest alone because (a) too much baggage and (b) suitable alternatives exist. OTOH, I don't fault them for being as competitive as possible - that's the way most successful businesses operate in a dog eat dog environment.
