as much as it pains me...im going to give the medal to google maps. The one thing they have over live search is the ability to pin point your location (even though its 1700 meters with in) as soon as you launch the app...or by command (hit go to the menu and do it.)

this one feature pulls gmaps ahead...i often found it annoying to keep trying to figure out what zip code i'm currently in, just to find something around me. one could argue why not just use the gps....but gps on the phone takes a good 20 seconds - 2 minutes (depending on what phone...what radio is on your phone...what rom...cooked or shipped....ect.) So the gps thing is out the door.

if microsoft cant get this trianglultion thing to work...then live search is my champion once again!
