For the last month, every directions search I do comes out completely wrong in mobile Live Search. The new version does not fix the problem.

What will happen is I'll ask it to find a place that is just a few miles away. It will ID the place exactly including zip code in the Los Angeles, CA, US area, etc, but then when it gives directiosn it will always ask me to drive hundreds of miles to either San Francisco or Sand Diego from Los Angeles. Looking at the map, it has my correct starting location, it labels the place in SD or SF as a place that's in LA. In other words it will show a North Hollywood (North Los Angeles) address and zip code as being hundreds of miles away in San Diego on the map.

Anyone else having this problem?

This is on an s710 with a gps bluetooth unit (that works fine).
