Terry,
1. Bing is not an industry leader, they are a second rate follower. 2. We don't care about your relationship with Microsoft - we care about your relationship with us. Do you? 3. We don't care about exciting developments in the future, by then we would have all jumped ship. We want a good product NOW! 4. Google Maps IS that good product 5. Bing isn't

If I knew that Garmin was working with Microsoft I might have kept a safe distance from their products!
I'm sorry, Terry, but I will no longer use GC since your change to Bing, for me is almost unusable.You cannot say to us that Bing will have a lot of useful features and bla bla bla, by now (and forever) google is AND WILL BE by far better than bing.You have made a bad change.Maybe if you return with Google maps...
I live in Panama Central America..Google was great and up to date and I could see details of the rain forest and communites I run and train in. With Bing I get a very very distant aerial view.....I am so upset, like really upset. I am running the Panama City marathon in two weeks and would have liked to see my run on Google maps! Not cool Garmin, Not cool!
