New Live Maps Gadget

Picked this up from Nathan’s blog. A new sidebar gadget is in town. This one lets you search for a location and even get directions from within the Gadget. Mike Ormond wrote it and has more information about it.

 

Keep in mind, this gadget is not a replacement for the traffic sidebar gadget. If you already have the traffic sidebar gadget, Mike Ormond’s gadget will install over the traffic sidebar gadget. To avoid that, follow these steps:

1.Visit  http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=8604d5c4-c7b1-4831-9bfd-d20d6885059a

2. Download the livesearchmaps.gadget file on your desktop

3. Rename it to livesearchmaps2.gadget

4. Double click on that file and it will install as a different gadget in your sidebar and not overwrite the Live Maps Traffic gadget
