Add Bing Airport maps
It would be nice if the maps app on WP7 had the internal maps of airports that bing.com has. http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/maps/archive/2011/09/29/new-airport-maps-for-bing.aspx

Make option to let BingMapsDirectionsTask default to walking
The SDK lets you create a BingMapsDirectionsTask between two locations. But this screen always shows you the DRIVING directions. In my app I want to show walking directions. The user has to manually tap the walking person icon.
Create an extra property so I can set the default to Walking.

add NOKIA DRIVE to the 7.8 update
I have read about Nokia Drive with free navigation for life comming to all windows 8 handsets. Please include it with the Windows 7.8 update. We all love our windows phones, but without these kind of features we can't brag about them to much.

I want you to strengthen a Bing map globally in addition to US
I want the same function as the US version to strengthen a Japanese BingMap.
BingMap of Japan is too poor and does not become useful.
Therefore, WP7 Japanese user is in trouble.
WP7 misunderstands the Japanese smart phone user with the poor smart phone.
Therefore, android is chosen.

Location Service (Local Scout etc.) in Japan
Unbeliebably, similar to other Asian countries, we haven't had full bing map services in Windows Phone yet. We only have a few POIs and limited accuracy of routing.
As you know Japanese is heavy user of such location query services for example, we use public transport routing services "any time" we need to go new place by train.
You showed the location service is most differentiate feature in WP in Smoked by Windows Phone campaign by Ben. So lack of local scout means defeat of WP in the market.

Google Maps
I am using Lumia 710 and the Maps feature is horrible compared to Google Maps. The handset does not allow direct web access to Google Maps (may be due OS restrictions). Please provide Google map or a good alternative.
