Microsoft Lost and Found
p2pnet.net News:- Take that, Google, ‘that’ being Microsoft`s answer to Google`s searchable map.
But there`s a difference, and it`s called Locate Me.
Microsoft Virtual Earth has now been officially released and Wi-Fi access points or Internet Protocol address geocoding allow the application to figure out where you are.
This Lost & Found feature works with a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop, tablet or PC or using Wi-Fi access points to determine the user`s location, which is centered on the map, say Bill and the Boyz.
This latest search item is offered for free when a user initially clicks on the Locate Me link, or it can be downloaded here.
But, Bill and the Boyz could almost be had for false advertising because its Virtual ‘Earth’ works only in the US.
