Windows Phone 7 may have Microsoft Street View
Google Street View and Bing Maps Streetside are an amazing way of finding particular locations. A new concept is Microsoft Street view which offers a better coverage by multi-perspective strip panoramas.
Though Windows Phone 7 is not given a special mention, it is still a possibility since video shows a handset showcasing the Microsoft Street View. Have a look at the demo after the break.
Transfer CoPilot from Windows Phone to Android
CoPilot can now to be transferred from Windows Phone to Android. Jonboyuk at XDA has devised a way to do it, but be sure you try this process out only if you got the legal CoPilot 8 for Windows Phone.
Here’s how you go about it:
- Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
- Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can’t see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
- Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
- CoPilot will now shut down;
- Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here;
- Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password)
