We just released Windows Live Mobile Search v2 at https://wls.live.com
v1 provided the ability to find locations and view standard and also aerial map views on your device. It also had the ability to search for addresses, restaurants, cinemas and many other local points of interest.
Version 2 adds a host of new features:
- Movie Showtimes: Want to see a movie but don’t know what’s playing? Get Movie Showtimes near you and be on your way!
- More Local Data: Want to go out for dinner but not sure which restaurant to pick? Let your fellow restaurant goers help you out – make a decision based on user ratings.
- Maps: View Mobile Virtual Earth maps wherever you are. For improved performance, pop in your storage card to enable the large cache option.
- Directions: Lost? Get found with better support for GPS integration and improved turn-by-turn navigation. We’ll even prompt you to auto-reroute if you get lost!
Best of all is that Windows Live Mobile Search is free!
Head on over to https://wls.live.com to download it today!

I think they should really work with weather.com and provide the ability to do weather overlays in the mapping. This would be implemented just like the traffic overlay. Having the abiliity to turn it off and on is key.Anonymous

When I choose to use GPS for the starting point in directions or searches, I'm now being prompted to save "GPS Location." Similarly, when I zoom into a location on the map, and then try to "Search Near Here," I am forced to save a "Map Location." This seems to be new in v2. It's annoying the heck out of me, particularly, since I have to agree to overwrite the old "GPS or Map Locations" everytime. Any idea how to turn that off? These are temporary locations that never need to be saved...Anonymous

Jason, where can I feedback information on the beta versionsas at present I get an error everytime I try and add a new location. ThanksAnonymous

The save location thing was in the previous version (as of May this year); it's actually often handy if you name the location as you get your own custom locations but it would be nice to be able to skip if it wasn't relevantAnonymous

and another; how do you add a rating for your favourite restaurant? I can't do it in the client - unlike Yahoo Go 2 - and unless I have Firefox I can't do it on Live Maps either!Anonymous

I just installed Live Search v2.0 on my Sprint Treo 700wx. 2.0 is a huge improvement over the previous versions; however, I am having lock-ups when selecting "Current GPS Location" under "Choose a New Location". My position is showing fine on the map, so I know my Pharos BT GPS isn't the problem. I have been able to replicate this issue repeatedly on two different 700wx's with clean installations of Live Search v2.0. My e-mails to the feedback address on wls.live.com keep coming back to me as undeliverable. Any ideas? Thanks, DavinAnonymous

I should also add that this issue never occurred in the previous version of Live Search using the same hardware (BT GPS and phones). Thanks, DavinAnonymous
