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.

FAQ
----------
Does the FREE version come with any limits?
- Yes. The free version provides a limited number of translations for which we are actually paying the translator company (Microsoft). Unless you have the need for high volume translations, you can probably survive with the free version.
What is the Premium version?
- The Premium version removes all the ads. More importantly it provides the option to obtain a generous number of translations equivalent to 10000 Tweets, 1000 emails, or 10 pocket books per month. You will need a Microsoft account to activate this option. Complete details are provided in the app.
Why Microsoft Translator and not Google Translator?
- Google Translator will be added in next version
Do you collect private information?
- No.
How do I close the app?
- Simply tap and hold the “T” icon for two seconds.
Can the app translate automatically without copy to clipboard?
- There are some limitations to implement such a feature. We are working on a solution.
Does it work offline?
- Yes, supports offline English word definition.
Does it work in Facebook and Twitter?
- Absolutely! However, there is a minor limitation since Facebook and Twitter don’t allow copy to clipboard functionality.

Great, it's working perfectly with Moon Reader+ :laugh:
Thank you very much! :highfive:
Google Translator, Google Translator, Google Translator! :good:
Good start! (The overall UI needs to be smoothed out...doesn't work all to well with non-standard DPI settings, though.
Interesting application. :good:
But instead of the floating icon and the requirement for me to copy the text until it's recognized I would prefer a deeper system integration:
The Translator icon should be in the same action bar as "select all", "cut", "copy" when text is selected.
If the translator icon is clicked only then the request to translate is sent and then the popup appears.
That would make it way less obtrusive.
Otherwise great idea...
How can you dismiss the icon?

With Inapp Translator, you can easily translate the whole text or part of it into your preferred language without closing the active application; you can see the translated result at the same place, on your screen.
In general, this app has been developed to offer a convenient way to translate without switching between applications and translator tool.

Dismiss the icon by long-pressing it.
One way to make this easier to use would be by adding the ability to share text with the app instead of the app having to be manually started or having it run all the time. The user wouldn't have to copy the text, just select and share to translate. (Not every app has the 'share' option for selected text, but a lot do...)

Google Translator API is not free service anymore but Microsoft translator has 2M character free usage. As we just wanted to implement our idea and see how users like it we used Microsoft Translator. For sure I am planing to use Google translator also in next versions.

Thanks for the feedback. As I understood to get access to the "System" level actions, phone need to be rooted and I tried to avoid that. I am thinking to make a version with the functionality that you have described for rooted phones, that make it so easier for users.
I will update the UI and check the compatibility with non-standard DPI also.
Thanks letting me know.
