Hi all,
Thanks for trying Live Search

You're right Canada is not officially supported.
However there is a workaround to be able to search for businesses in Canada: change your device language to "
English (United Kingdom)" or any language different from "English (United States)" and "English".
You can change the language in Options > Languages.

Yes Microsoft acquired Tellme in 2007

You can save the results of a business search to your address book.
You can also select a location from an address found in your address book.
And you can map a contact address from your address book, using the "Map in Live Search" menu item.

There is no automatic update of the GPS status message.
You can try to refresh the message with the "Update Status" menu option. But you don't have to wait in the "Configure GPS" screen. For example you can display a map and start a "GPS Tracking": your position will be displayed as soon as you get a GPS fix.
On some devices (including AT&T devices), the internal GPS is not accessible by independent third party applications but in this case you should have got an GPS initialization error.
