Transit directions for Windows Phone
Bing Maps has transit directions on the website, Bing Maps for the BlackBerry PlayBook has transit directions. Bing Maps on Windows Phone does not have transit directions. It's baffling that this is even the case, and it's unacceptable. Nokia Maps and Nokia Transit don't yet have directions for all the cities that Bing (and Google) Maps do, and Google hasn't released Google Maps for Windows Phone. Third party programs that access the Google Maps APIs, such as gMaps and Transit Directions eventually stop working due to API changes on Google's part. There is really no excuse for not including Transit…

Add compass support in Bing Maps
There is no way to know my current orientation (as it does on iPhones) when I'm looking at the map. This would be VERY useful.

Fix the compass problem at southern hemisphere
The compass in southern hemisphere is always wrong, no matter which manufacturer, or which app we are using. and the value is always 180 degrees, resulting in problems with augmented reality apps, which shows stores that are in front of us, in the phone they appear right behind us. thats pretty annoying.

Add Option to disable A-GPS
Please give us the option to turn off A-GPS. Because it often makes more sense to record no position than a false position.

Integrate "We're In" so we can set groups/individuals to check each others location anytime.
We would not have to launch "We're In". Parents could keep an eye on their kids, friends could see each other on map always.

enable app integration - let Nokia Maps & Nokia Drive be integrated
enable app integration - let Nokia Maps & Nokia Drive be integrated. So when I find a place on maps on my lumia and want to drive there or take the tram there, Drive app and Transit app opens up seamlessly. Also, all favourites that I save on Maps can also be applied to drive & Transit.

Avoid Tolls/Highways on Bing Navigation
I live in Aliso Viejo, CA (Zip code 92656 if you want to view it on a map) and running through my neighborhood is a huge, OPTIONAL, toll road, highway 73. It's a bit expensive, but if you are willing to pay the premium it serves as a great shortcut.
Sadly, every single time I try and get navigation directions using Bing on my phone, it picks up the 73 highway as the only route to take. Even if I want to navigate to Target just a few blocks away. I don't want to pay $5.00 just to go to…
