Getting lost is now a thing of the past when you combine Windows Mobile and a GPS receiver. With the Microsoft Live Search for Windows Mobile, getting directions just became a lot easier. Live Search for Windows Mobile is a Pocket PC port of the desktop version. You can choose what map or satellite to display, and in addition, it will show you traffic (when available in the area), give you routing directions, as well as a variety of search categories from local activities and government, to restaurants and shopping. It can also provide you with a turn-by-turn directions to reach the place you are looking for. The reviewer stated that the Live Search's location results were very accurate. However, the reviewer cleared that though it is an excellent piece of GPS mapping software, the requirement for a data connection and its data usage could make it cost-prohibitive.

Windows Live Search is an application bundled into most devices that run under Windows Mobile 6. The program lets you search for phone numbers, addresses, and locations to businesses and establishments. You can even look at maps and directions to locations you specify in the program. Because of the new compression algorithm implemented in Windows Live Search, downloading this information is quite fast. The interface is also friendly to new users, making searches simple and easy. In fact, the reviewer claims that Windows Live Search is more superior to a 411 call. Live traffic information is also updated every 2 minutes, making it easy for motorists to plan their quickest route. The program is also GPS-enabled, which lets you integrate information with a GPS receiver or a Bluetooth unit. Live Search may not have some of the rich features you can find in expensive GPS navigation software, but it performs a more than adequate job for a free program. Windows Live Search is only available in the US and the UK.
