Default The Big Google Maps Mobile vs. Windows Live Search Showdown

http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/08/the-big-google-.html

"Google Maps Mobile (GMM) is an extremely popular program.  Absolutely everyone uses GMM at one point or another because it's so easy and looks pretty.  But is there another game in town?  Dwight Silverman of TechBlog put Google Maps Mobile head-to-head against Windows Live Search (WLS) on the Windows Mobile platform and it may surprise some that he found WLS the clearcut winner.  It doesn't surprise me because I have used WLS on my WM phones for some time and find it gives me better answers quicker when I'm looking for something local."

Interesting because I've never actually used Google Maps before. I have however used Windows Live Search many many times and I really like it. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's one of my most used programs. I don't feel that I need GPS because Windows Live Search does such a good job for me. So of course you know I'm going to ask, what do you use most often and which do you prefer?
