Integrate Windows Live Local with Microsoft Outlook

 

This is one of the neatest add-ons to hit Microsoft Outlook. The add-on integrates Microsoft’s Live Maps into your Outlook appointments. When you create an appointment the ‘Location’ tab automatically pulls map information from the Live website, when you input a from/to address it will plot directions for printing or later viewing. I’m including some screenshots for you to view. So head over to Microsoft’s website and download this very nifty tool.

Note: I discourage users from using keywords in their names when posting comments, most of those are caught as spam and end up being deleted. It would be more productive and interactive if commentators use the name they go by rather than using an unrelated name. In the future I reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
