How to use My Places Collections from Bing Maps in WP Maps So here's my problem. I have a couple of collections in My Places in Bing Maps and I'd like to be able to view those collections in the Maps app on Windows Phone. One is of special parking spots around New York and the other is of...

So I tapped on the My Commute live tile today and it just vanished. Weird, but even weirder - when I went into Drive to try and re-pin it, there's no mention of it all in the app anymore. I uninstalled Drive and reinstalled it, but no luck. Is that function gone now?

Great suggestion, thanks!

So I listen to a lot of books on tape, which I've manually ripped from CDs and the one problem I wish I could solve is saving my spot. If I pause track (I typically pull the books in CD sized chunks -- usually about an hour long) the Music app will keep my place only as long as the app is in...

Yes -- 192 kpbs and they were transferring fine up until a few days ago. Since I posted this message I discovered the registry hack to allow direct transfer of files to my Trophy via USB, which allows me to at least play the audio books on my phone, but without the benefit of having a playlist...

In the last couple of days, I suddenly can't transfer songs (actually tracks of audio books) ripped from my CDs to my Trophy. When I try to transfer a track, I get a dialog box that says "Can't purchase due to a temporary server error. Please try later." This has now been going on for about...

I'll add my two cents and go along with the crowd -- if you can get one for relatively cheap (and it looks like you could probably get one for less than $100 on ebay judging by the prices now) then I would totally go for it. I think it's a nicely built, good looking phone that'll get you a good...

As long as you download the Office 15 preview! I just upgraded an older laptop to the Windows 8 Consumer Release, downloaded the Office 15 preview, and, lo and behold, Tasks in Outlook 15 are syncing to the To-Do list in my Live account which, of course, pushes down to my HTC Trophy. Finally...

So after much fruitless searching, I'm left to conclude that there isn't a way (yet) to get this information into Maps on WP7. So now, a bit of a different question. Does anyone know if any of the GPS programs in the Market allow for importation of these kinds of favorites places from Google...

Thanks for the suggestion of gMap, which looks like a good program, but unfortuantely there doesn't appear to be a way to log into your Google account through the app, so no bringing down the custom maps. Still looking for a solution....:straight:

A quick question from a newbie to WP7. I've just moved to a Trophy from Android and I'm trying to replicate some resources that I used there. In the Google ecosystem I was able to create custom maps in Google Maps that I would like to port over to the MS ecosystem. One is a map of places...
