LiveMaps or Multimap in the UK
There has been some good debate for the pros and cons (mainly cons on the debate) of the switch from LiveMaps to Multimap for UK users today. James Senior a UK Microsoft blogger has some information about it on his blog below…
James.Random() : Live Maps switches to Multimap
There is some geo-targeting going in the mix somewhere so as a UK user you will be likely sent to the MultiMap interface by default, whether you type in https://maps.live.com or https://www.virtualearth.com !!
However if you prefer the old VirtualEarth experience you can override it using the following link https://maps.live.com/?mkt=en-us
