No navigation in Bing Maps? - Windows Phone 7 General

Hey,
I have an HD7 and i'm trying to get directions to some place, but I can't find how to do it.
I looked at some videos which clearly had directions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Uw5gwPbaM (2:29)
If I got to a plce, I just get the about screen with the adress but nothing more.
If I hit the search button (on-screen) I get redirected to the normal bnig search as if I would've pressed the hardware button.

Is his functionality disabled in Belgium or so?
Are there any free alternatives because this is pretty lame if I have a phone with gps that can't even navigate to some place starting from where I'm standing.

There's no navigation yet. Has been rumored to come with the January update, tho.
But even if it comes with that, I doubt it'll work in Belgium from the get-go. Took Google also quite a while.

But I can't even ask for directions (without voice).
At 3:40 in the clip he has the ability to enter a start and end, I can't even dor that.
I find that pretty weak.
Is there a Google Maps application? because I can't find it in the marketplace.

I'm in the Netherlands and was also dealing with this issue for some time.
There is one "solution" though.
Go to settings -> region & language. Set the Browser & search language to a supported country (e.g. English (United States)).
Voila, directions and search will appear in Bing Maps.

Nice, that did the trick

[APP] Turn by Turn Navigation for WP7 ... WORKS FINE!!!!

I installed the trial version of the Turn by Turn Navigation for WP7 .. you can find it on the market, it works really fine, it has auto-route function and you can search by poi's.. hope on next update an autovelox function.. here is youtube video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LELmH38iZgg
try it.. at the moment is the best turn by turn app on wp7 !!!!!
yesterday i posted this but seems deleted....
official page for more info
http://www.gpstuner.com/windowsphone7/index.html
Does this work in conjunction with another app. I don't see any of the menus showing on their web page. It goes straight to the map.
Turn By Turn is a really polished app... The best nav app for WP7 for sure...
I have the full version and tested it today during my usual Sunday driving...
It is fast and accurate... When it indicates to turn right, but you turn left, it represents where you go, unlike many normal GPS navs that will track the route for a while before it realises you've deviated...
Some improvements?

Windows Phone Web Marketplace Going Live

It's still going up so might not be fully functional yet (link is for US).
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/marketplace
It works in Germany, I've already installed two apps just via the Web Marketplace.
The cloud is awesome
This is cool. You can install apps on the sly at work without looking at your phone
EDIT: On second thoughts, you still need to open the email on your phone and follow the standard process!
Seems to have gone wrong in the Uk, can't sign in (although it says I have)
Instead of working on this web marketplace, Microsoft should b working to enable the rest of the world to purchase apps.
Thus is ridiculous.
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
Yup its all gone pete tong in the uk, sorry, no it hasn't its come back
works fine in Australia

Love the Send to Windows Phone feature
Another great thing is that existing links continue to work.
For example this link for my own app originally opend Zune but now user's can check out and install apps from the web.
Not trying to spam with the link just wanted to provide an example.
This is awesome! I wish the Zune desktop marketplace worked this well.

Problem "Reminders" "customize" Google Discover -feed- disabled

1416/5000
Best regards!
I come to your wisdom when I run out of resources to solve my problem ...
I have always been a great follower of Google and I like to use a lot of the things they implement. In this case, google feed, discover, however you know it.
What's going on? When I slide to the left on the desk, the "white" screen remains, as it never updates or shows any of the news, which is very strange to me, because I remember that before I showed it, even in other devices that I had before the pixel. ... investigating to give solution, one of the things that are mentioned, from the google itself is to do this:
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Google app.
Touch Menu Menu and then Personalize.
Choose the themes you want to add or delete:
However, what a surprise I found to see that this option to customize it has been disabled, as well as the option of reminders, and even though I searched, even in English, I have not found information about it to enable these options.
Maybe one of you has gone through this same experience? Any possible solution?
I will be very grateful with any answer that contributes to my solution,
A hug.
P.S.

Dasaita 10.2" PX6 spoken navigation directions half words

Hi,
I noticed weird behavior with this device and navigation: if I'm using plain navigation just as it is or navigation with Radio app, spoken directions are cut off from the end.
How ever, if I'm using Spotify or some other streaming app at the same time (running at the bottom), all spoken sentences are complete without any issues. I've tested Google Maps, Tom Tom, Sygic and some others, but it does not change this behavior.
Is this known issue with Dasaita or am I missing some setting here?
Thanks!
I had the same issue.
Go to CAR setting and then to Navigation and look for where u can change to "SWITCH", then it wont cut the voice from navigation.

I tried the suggestion above, but I still get the skipped words from Waze as well as Google Assistant.
Any other suggestions?

Question Screen turns on when shaken & Google search bar

Hello.
This is my first time using a smartphone, and I'm new to IT as well, so forgive me for being dumb.
I recently got a Nokia G20 (Model number: TA-1336). It has Android 12.
Whenever I "shake" the phone, or just move it a little, the screen turns on. I believe it has something to do with motion sensing, but I couldn't find anything in the settings to turn this feature off.
Please help me.
On another note, is it possible to get rid of the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen? Without disabling the Google app, if possible.
Thanks very much in advance.
If this has been asked before, I'm very sorry for causing trouble.
Thank you very much WilliamMike, your advice fixed the first one!
The search bar, however, I still can't remove. The internet says to either install some NovaLauncher (which I'd prefer not to) or disable the Google app (this could break some features I assume).
Sorry for taking up your time, I appreciate your help!

I tapped on Home settings, and this came up:
Any idea where to go from here?
