Default Windows Live Search Updated!

from wmexperts.com

Microsoft announced this week that the mobile version of Live Search has been updated to include the ability to detect the location of the mobile user even if their handset is not GPS-enabled. The update also includes predictive search query input and more detailed views of maps. Also included in the update is the "bird's-eye-view" that's popular on Microsoft's maps.live.com. It's not quite the same as Google Maps' Street View, but it does do a better job of spying on your neighbors.


Also of note is that latest version still works with Windows Mobile 5.
According to Jeremy Beasley, Live Search Mobile product manager, "if you're not running the latest version of Windows Mobile, don't worry. We've built in support for Windows Mobile 5 phones to make sure that you can use these new features as well."


To download the latest version (4.012158.1) of Windows Live Search mobile, just point your browser to wls.live.com or go here on your desktop for more options.

love the new birds eye view feature that you can use while it tracks your position


also the fact that it works with handsets that are not gps enabled!!
(plus still supports wm5.0)

It cannot precisely locate me ... it just gives my location as New York, NY. I will try it again once I am outside.
For the record, Google Maps finds me without issue. But both apps cant lock on to GPS when I'm here at work.

haven't had time yet to reinstall or mess with it..but once i hit follow me on gps i get hardly any map loading...no matter what view i select. total cpu slow down! i can see myself (red arrow)...but nothing but the sweet loading arrows background!

if i try gpsvp...which also uses real time windows live maps...maps load instant.

Locate me has yet to work on my Q9h.
Also tracking my movement via GPS while using Bird's Eye view was slow and inaccurate.
