Buzzword: "Location based services" - it's what all mobile operators are dreaming of. The trouble is, most maps - and you do need maps! are expensive. So Microsoft has launched its own wonder-solution - MapPoint. Does it work?
Sniffer was told to click on this link. You'll see a picture which looks like a Grand Tour of Europe.
Or, if you want to see how it's done,
1. Go to http://mappoint.msn.com/DirectionsFind.aspx
2. In the Start section, select "Norway" from the listbox and enter "Haugesund" into the "City" field
3. In the End section, select "Norway" from the listbox and enter "Trondheim" into the "City" field
