Kevin over at  jkOnTheRun found a slick piece of freeware today that I finally got a moment to try.  Although it is limited in the cities you can search, if you are in one of the "big cities", it is a very cool addition to have on your device.

POST UPDATE: I had indicated above that it is "limited" in cities but that is an incorrect statement. You can actually search any city you’d like, just click on the link labeled "Choose a new location", and type in an address, city, ZIP code, airport code, whatever you want into the location box…then we’ll try to find it for you, and you can search around it! (special thanks to Steve from Microsoft for the tip)

Leaving near Boston, I often find my way in there to get some great food in the North End but there are so many other places to that I have never gone to.  Now with this program, I can see the traffic getting into Boston, find a restaurant and get directions … it’d pretty cool and definitely worth the download.

I attached a few screen shots for you to see.  There is a group of three I captured of the school I was the Principal of before I retired … I had to look to see it it was still standing. 

You can download the cab file of Windows Live Search for Mobile here.

Take a moment and jump over to jkOnTheRun to see what Kevin had to say about Windows Live Search for Mobile: the U.S. on your phone?
