I have same issue. Live in UK (I know it's US only at the moment... but logic should be the same right?)

Apparently, this could be a server side issue. Let's hope they can fix it soon.

Try asking another way. For example:
"Show me restaurants nearby" then "Navigate me to the first one"

Tried that, but no good. She answers "Bitcoin exchange rate" though!

Same thing happened with me too. Except directions, everything was functioning. The directions came yesterday but when I asked for them today, alas! it showed me a bing search. When I asked for a weather report, it showed me some data and told me the highest and lowest temperatures. But today, it is showing me a bing search. Maybe, it is a server proble.

P.S : I am non-US

Guys, I just talked to Paul and it seems that Daniel doesn't wan't to do a story on it yet. If the problem is persistent and if many users are facing it, he may think of doing a story on it.

It is a problem on MS' side. They confirmed it to Mary Jo Foley on twitter. They told people not to hard reset as it was on their side.

It works when i say, "get me directions to my school" maybe that is because i have set the place. but other than that, no luck

It is so bad. Wish a new update would fix this bug.
