Maps Application

I have the Treo 800w and my wife has the Treo 850. My wife was recently and frantically asking me where the "Maps" feature on the Today Screen is. She was looking for the nearest gas station. Has that app been removed and why? Can someone point me to the right place to get it and load it on her Treo 850? It is so helpful when traveling. TIA

I think what you are looking for is Windows Live Search.

For anyone reading, is there a way to rip the "Maps App" from the "Program Menu" from the Treo 800w and post it? It would be very helpful for the Treo 850 users. I use the app for all my queries on the road. I am always looking for ATMs or the nearest gas stations from my present location and the app is very dependable.
