| Local Search: search the Microsoft Live Maps local search database for any business or residential listing based on keyword, name, or category- results are always up-to-date. |

| Traffic: check updated traffic conditions (red/yellow/green) in major highways, overlaid on your maps, so you can avoid traffic and get to your destination faster (available in select US cities only). |
| GPS integration: Live Search connects to your GPS receiver to track your real-time position on the map, follow you along the driving directions, and perform local searches based on your location- some Windows Mobile devices include built-in GPS receivers- all other Windows Mobile devices are compatible with external Bluetooth GPS receivers (separate purchase required). |

Best Free Program Out There

on Apr 21, 2009 - I use Live Search a lot. I wish Microsoft would add some standard GPS features (i.e. 3D view, compass with screen up direction for path, a way to mark points along your path of travel, a way to program waypoints into your path or make multiple stops along a route, etc.) I may one day buy a full GPS program but for now Live Search will do.

on Jul 15, 2008 - This is a very excellent and helpful program. This is awesome around town for finding and looking up business address. I have used it on my last two phones and it has continued to get better. You can check movies, gas prices, show map of address that you look up you can also send the address to a friend via text message or save to contacts. Only con so far is trying to look up info on small towns.....some towns and cities don't show up under location. This is a Must have Program!

on Jun 5, 2008 - If your phone has built in GPS, then this is a must have. This program takes the place of your TOMTOM or GARMIN or whatever GPS system you use and it does it very well. Need to find a mexican resturant? Just say mexican resturant into your phone and viola, you get a list of the closest mexican resturants, complete with name, address, phone number and driving directions, as well as the option to send the info via SMS to an associate with just two button presses. WOW!I must say that this is an amazing tool, especially for frequent travelers. You need to check traffic in the area? It's here, updated every 2 minutes. Looking for movie times? Yep, that's here too. This is a must have app. and IT'S FREE!!!!!!!
