Hi Ari,
I disagree it works better with Mobile Speak. There are areas of MS that
don't work well with it either, so I think it is equal.
All the best
Steve

Quite well although with Mobilespeak it works even better. With Talks
you need the latest version.
download the demo and try yourself:-)

If you mean that number called usually zipcode answer is yes. You can
also use city names.

You'll get turning instructions automatically when using the navigation
mode. In addition there are the vicinities showing the nearest
crossings, favourites (your own locations) and POIs (point of interest
such as restaurants) by request. Vicinity feed will tell nearest of these
also automatically.
On request you can get the name of current street and name of the area
or city too. With MS these are spoken automatically.
There is also available your current lat & lon coorinates, altitude,
speed and heading. When navigating WFA will tell estimated arrival time
and distance to your destination.

It depends on you data plan and how much you use the vicinities.

Demo works only five days. You do not have access to Mywayfinder
services but there no other limitations. Iir there is also 30 day demo
availabe, contact your dealer.

If you purchase a lifetime licence, currently only alternative with
Access, you can transfer it freely from phone to phone. There is also no
yearly fee to pay. If there will be un upgrade availabe someday it will
probably cost something.
Of course there are the data transfer cost to install and use WFA.
