Windows Live Local Search is local search and mapping – combined. Find nearby businesses like restaurants, hotels or dry cleaners for example, and then map the best route. Even get directions if you don´t have an address, simply by clicking on the map. See maps in road, aerial and bird´s eye views (for most cities) – actual aerial images of the places you need to find. Expecting traffic delays? Now avoid them with real–time traffic and incident reports so you know the most efficient route to take. And use "collections" to mark a map with your favorite places – add comments, photos and url´s, then send it to friends and family, or even publish for the world to see. Simply put, Windows Live Local Search helps you feel like a local wherever you go.
