I own Samsung Omnia W running on WP7.5 Refresh. After I purchased my handset, I installed gMaps, so I didnt bother to have a look at inbuilt Maps app provided by Windows Phone.
I read that Bing Maps is also as good as Google Maps. Only problem is I dont know how to use it. When I open Maps, I can see option to get my current location. I dont see any option to discover places (Hotels, Parks, etc like in gMaps), nor I see any option to search any location, and direction/navigation to it.
Do I need to install any more app to utilise inbuilt Maps application. Is there any guide available to use Maps. Please point me to link, or post here.
Thanks.
Id use Nokia Maps rather than Bing

Ya, but I use Samsung Omnia W, and its not unlocked. So I have to rely on inbuilt Bing Maps.

I found above link in which it has given details of Maps usage. Maps really looks nice in this link, but unfortunately in my phone, I can see only option "me" with Circle to show my location. I cant get any other options like Local Scout, Get Directions, Find Address.
In above link it is mentioned that certain feature may not work for all regions. I wonder if Bing Maps has no support for India!

go read that and weep afterwards :laugh:
for the time being, i'd suggest to change the language of the browser and search (setup > language > last item in the list) to "ENGLISH (united states)", that way you'll unlock several options not available to us third-world-peasants-lumpenproletariat laugh like qr code search and local scout, however, be aware that there's no guarantee that it will work where you live. for instance, here i don't get results for shops and restaurants, but events and attractions work. ultimately it's useless for this place, but it looks so cool... :crying:

Hey Thanks! It actually worked!!!
And guess what after changing language to English (US) {earlier I used English (UK)}, even Scout is working fine for India. I can see nearby Hotels, Attractions through Maps, Bing Search.
Place search, Navigation is also now working.

What's New
Update: You will find several mirrors of the APK below for manual flashing.
Google Play Services 4.0 was released in late October just after the Nexus 5 and Kit Kat became official, bringing with it plenty of improvements to things like Google+ sign-in, Wallet, Location services, and more.
Today, via the Android Developers Blog, Google announced the rollout of Google Play Services 4.1, which offers developers more and better tools to make compelling apps.
What's New
First off, 4.1 will give developers the chance to take advantage of turn-based multiplayer mechanics handled totally by Play Services (for playing asynchronous games either with friends or strangers).
The update from version 4.0.34 will also provide a developer preview of the new Google Drive API for Android, which - when implemented - will let users read and write files from Google Drive across their devices, online or off, with changes syncing automatically. The API also comes with a couple of bonuses like a file picker and a "Save" dialog.
Google also notes changes to Google Mobile ads with the 4.1 update:
With Google Play services 4.1, the Google Mobile Ads SDK now fully supports DoubleClick for Publishers, DoubleClick Ad Exchange, and Search Ads for Mobile Apps. You can also use a new publisher-provided location API to provide Google with the location when requesting ads. Location-based ads can improve your app monetization.
Perhaps most important to non-developers, Google appears to have "improved" battery life for users who have Location Reporting enabled. Readers may recall this was an issue with previous Play Services releases.
Finally, the Play Services update improves the Google+ sharing experience by making it easier to share with only the people you want from an app. Sharing now offers better auto-complete and suggests contacts from Gmail, your device, and Google.
Thanks to AndroidPolice for for this.:thumbup:

Thanks a lot...
Today I reinstalled the CM rom on my phone and while I was upgrading my apps, a notification appeared on my phone making me upgrade Google Play Services.
I understand that it is a necessary app and all of that, but did you realized about the high punctuation it has in the Play Store? If you read the opinions, on the most useful section, they talk all about the same: "I can't upgrade this app because it is so big and now I can't use my phone" and all those people give between 1 and 3 stars, but the app has 3.7.
So I changed the section to "Newest first" and started reading opinions. There were a lot of then with comments like "P" or "nice" and 5 stars. If you also look the profile of those people who comment on that app, you can find profiles with any information, just a 5 stars punctuation on that app. And nothing more.
A screenshot of one of this profiles can be found here: nicovell3.es/playServices.png
I suppose these profiles are generated by Google workers to elevate the punctuation of that app, and I understand that they want it to have a good image to make people trust in downloading that app but... I'm not sure that's the correct way.
What I want to ask is: if Google controls in that way the Play Store and we continue trusting that company, what will prevent it from making us believe what they want?
I post this here because I think this must concern all the app developers which produce apps to post them in the Play Store...
So what are your opinions on the Assistant on Pixel compared to Siri on iPhones?
Does googles AI backed Assistant steal the thunder?
Dude, have you been living on another planet for the past few years and just landed back on earth? Siri is a joke. Google Now is miles ahead. No one knows about google assistant yet, supposedly is better than Google Now.
I heard little about Google's Assistant and decide to search on google to gather more information about Assistant and finally I reach on one blog which gives detail info about the comparison of Google's Assistant with Siri and Alexa.
I am a newbie on Xda forums so I can't insert the link in my reply. But, I am telling you a name of the site and the name of the topic on that site which you have to open.

Google now was miles ahead, the new assistant is now light-years ahead. The assistant is just Google Now + AI. In all seriousness, Siri is a joke.lol. All the thunders been with Google search from the beginning, Siri was gimick.

Thanks for the link, its a good read: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/602550/googles-assistant-is-more-ambitious-than-siri-and-alexa/
Siri isn't so much not in the same league as Google's voice search and Assistant, it's not even playing the same game. The lack of contextual awareness and inconsistent fallback behaviour (will it offer to do a web search? Will it just say it doesn't understand?) really let Siri down.

Not to mention Apple's piss poor voice recognition. Google nailed very accurate voice recognition and Apple still struggles with it. In fact, google even does contextual voice recognition and its miles ahead of Apple. i.e., I recently voice searched for "Mary Brigh hospital" and google first recognized it as "Mary Bright" but quickly corrected itself since it knew where I was, and knew that there is a "Mary Brigh" near me. It also does it regularly when I search for specific hotels or POIs near me. Smart stuff.
I ask Siri "How late is Family Video open tonight?" Siri response "I could not find you that answer", or something like that. I ask Google "How late is Family Video open tonight?" Google response "Family Video is open until 10:00pm."
I ask Siri, "Call Family Video." Response: "I have two Family Videos, one on this street and one on that street. Would you like me to call the one on this street?" I ask Google, "Call Family Video." Response: "Calling Family Video."
