Getting
from A to B (you’ve been to B, haven’t you?) is a breeze. Windows Phone
provides detailed, turn-by-turn directions to get you to your
destination. It’s important to note, however, that Windows Phone 7 only
gives written directions. It doesn’t bark orders at you the way some
car navigation systems do. Still, it’s pretty darn handy—and specific.
It can tell you when something is “across from the 7-Eleven” and when
you’ve gone too far.
1. Get Turn-by-Turn Directions
In Maps, tap Directions.
Tap the text box, and type one of the following:
Tap Go.
Tap Walking or Driving to recalculate the route based on how you are traveling there.
Flick up or down the directions list, or tap a direction to see it on the map.
Tip:
Type a business name in the destination box (for example, Zeek’s Pizza), and Maps automatically finds it and routes you to it.
Tip:
Tap Start or End to swap the beginning and ending points for your trip.
Tip:
Maps assumes you want to start
from your current location. To start from someplace else, tap My
Location and enter another starting point.
