Re: (Windows) Live Search Upgrade Sucks! Don't Download it!!

agree i think the new version isnt very good. it seems much slower loading maps too. the birdseye view is much less useful than Google's street view, more of a 3d satellite view which looks cool but thats about it in terms of functionality. The whole point of a street view is to see the buildings and location in 3d from your viewpoint to match it to what you physically see which birdseye cant do like street view.

personally ill take google maps any day over livesearch anyways in general, never been a big livesearch fan. i google is much faster to load and only lack the turn by turn direction portion (but if you have a good gps program thats not an issue). i dont think the weather or that other junk in the menu is worth very much to the average user. Google is still the best map program IMO.

I'll have to check out google maps. I wasn't very impressed with it back in the Mogul days, but haven't given it a look in a while... Live search has done everything I needed.
