No Option to Search For Directions In Windows Phone 7 Map Application!

I was devastated today when I pull out my HTC HD7, tab on the map application and proceed to look for directions to a famous eatery in Singapore only to realize that I have no way of doing that on my phone!!!! :’( This is pretty weird as stated here, this feature is very much available in WP7.

Googl-ing around,  I found out this possible solution here. Just to summarize the solution from the forum. This is what you need to do.

  1. Tab on settings
  2. Tab on region & language
  3. Choose English (United Kingdom) from Region format, System locale and Browser & search language
  4. Tab on “Tap here to accept changes and restart your phone”

Presto! you can now search for directions via the map application! Happy “mapping”~
