Windows Live Search Mobile

I cannot find a support page for Live Search Mobile.

I have a Samsung Omnia i910(Verizon).
I downloaded the latest version of Live Search V 4.1.2029.1
Paired with a Bletooth GPS...In a populated area with 3 or more bars.

The app finds the GPS reciever quickly, but the map does not refresh, the
icon spins around as I drive and change directions but it is very slow in
refreshing the map. In comparisons Google Maps is able to keep the map
refresh up to date even zoomed in at the max while going down the Interstate
highway.

If you click on view (aerial or road) the map pops up, I can see as I drive
the app is accessing the network by the connectivity icon arrows at the top.
But I have to keep clicking on AERIAL or ROAD to get a update of the map.

Between the two - Google Maps and Live Search....the Speech Recognition is
the killer edge, but the maps when driving have to update.

Now I was unable to find a forum for just Live Search.....if there is one
that I missed would somebody kindly point me the way?

Thanks

I'm unaware of a forum for WLS, but they have a "feedback" email address
that I've reported bugs to: lsmobile@microsoft.com

I've noticed that maps seem to load more slowly on this version than prior
versions. I'm using an HTC Kaiser on T-Mobile USA, which is limited to 2.5G
EDGE data service (about 150kbps) and I get intermittent trouble loading
maps, but not to the extent you're having. I generally suspect it's server
trouble (overloading?) on MS' end, but that's just a guess (I notice, for
example, that it seems to be worse during what I suspect are "peak"
navigation periods- rush hour and weekends.)
