on Aug 16, 2008 - Very quick, easy to use, and does so much! Works with built in GPS on my smartphone. Get directions to anywhere from your current GPS position...Route...Map...Center on GPS. Shows your position as you move toward your destination on the map with each line of directions and beeps at you as next turn approaches. Find the best local gas prices or restaurants near your GPS position. Check the traffic in your area. Say the name of any company or POI. Provides directions, map location, phone number to dial directly from this program. Can't live without it!!!!

on Jul 24, 2008 - Microsoft has a real winner with this product. The local search feature is excellent and saves big bucks over 411. I use that feature almost daily and like the mapping feature as well.Looking forward to what they come up with next for this product.

on Jun 21, 2008 - Voice recognition has arrived. Very professional software and it's free. No need to type just press speak, very accurate and so much faster than typing. Maps are very quick. I love this software, please give us more. I bet microsoft is using this free software to build a database for voice recognition of the future.
