I like both however use TOMTOM all the time. Live search just gives you better search results for gas stations and all that and Google maps is nice if you have the street view.

just my 2 cents

I actually like Live Search better, just has more features

Really...how cool is it to just push a button and say "PIZZA", and 10+ locations close to yours with phone numbers pop right up. I gotta go with Live Search on this one. It has simplified my life many times.

If they were to only have th directions always facing north on the map it would be perfect, that and 3d mapping.

Definately agree... both need a direction travelling as up... most annoying it cant do that...
