Welcome to The Windows Blog 


The Live Search Maps Gadget is back!

Donavon West, whose company LiveGadgets.net was hired by Microsoft to develop the Live Search Maps Gadget originally, has announced via LiveSide that the Live Search Maps gadget is back and available for download! This awesome gadget lets you look at traffic in many different cities. I use this gadget all the time especially when traveling up to Seattle.

Donavon says work has been done "under-the-hood" so visually the gadget won't look much different than before. He also says new cities have been added: Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, San Antonio and Toronto. New cities will automatically show up in the Live Search Maps Gadget when they are added going forward.

This gadget is a must-have for folks who commute and do quite a bit of traveling.

    dovella, link works for me just fine here. What are you getting? It looks like gallery.live.com might be a little slow right now... other than that, I can download the gadget just fine.

    dovella, the gadget may be only available to North American users (U.S. and Canada) as it only covers cities over here in North America. So even if you could access the gadget, it wouldn't do you any good being in Italy.

    I will have to ping the Windows Live Gallery folks and see what is going on with the gadget availability.

    dovella, I see your error but I am not getting that error over here on my PCs. I am not sure what is going on by my guess is that the gadget is only available for North American users. I will need to do more search as to what is going on.
