Samsung Series 7 Slate - Bing Map App

The Series 7 Slate comes with a maps app called Bing Map App. The video and notes below go over everything the app has to offer. Notes: Map Zoom in and out using pinch gesture Pan with a single finger Zoom Bar Preset levels (world, state, city, area, street) Can be disabled through Settings Views: Automatic - Switches between Road and Aerial views. Road - Shows roads and no terrain images Aerial - Shows terrain images and roads Bird's eye - Gives you a perspective view (angle) Has problems when zooming in and out when using pinch gesture. Search Can search for companies, and locations Can create a route between one position to another Shows step by step guide Right side bar Star - View stored locations (favorited locations) Location Pin Allows you to know more about a specific location  Store location Can turn on Streetside view (immersive imaging) Point of Interest Allows you to view specific businesses (ie hotels, etc) Live Traffic Green = Low traffic Yellow = Mild traffic Red = High traffic Settings Show zoom bar Allow Access Location Tranportation mode (walk or vehicle) My only complaint is the zoom in and out using pinch during "Bird's eye" view. It does a bit too much.  Keep in mind you need to have an internet connection for this app to work properly.  Overall a very good touch friendly map app. Support the blog by purchasing a Samsung Series 7 Slate: Win 7 HP - 64GB, 128GB, 128GB with Dock and Keyboard Win 7 Pro - 64GB, 128GB Samsung Series 7 Slate Pc Dock , Invisible Defender Skin Decals
