Windows Live Search

[+DocRawk]

I'm new to all of this. I just got an ATT Tilt mobile phone. It's got a GPS in it, and I'm thinking caching may be something my girlfriend and I can do together. I've got a microSD card on the way and intend to use it to run TomTom6. I'm kind of impatient and would like to start this weekend if possible. Is there a way to get windows live search to accept coordinates? I've tried a couple times with no luck. Just wondering if it is a syntax problem I'm running into or if it's just impossible...

 

Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to accomplish? Windows live search is a search engine. Sounds like you really just want to find the cache page on the phone and click a map link.

Actually Windows Live Search has mapping features similar to google maps.I have never been able to get live search to accept coords but you can do it with Google mobile maps.Go to www.google.com/gmm/ on your tilts browser andthis will let you download goggle maps.Then just just do a search for the coords you are looking for and It will put on arrow on the map.When I search I use format like n37 14.400 w121 48.600 and it works great.One other nice trick I used a while back was to use google earth to pull up several caches I wanted to search for then create a KML file.Host this file somewhere and then if you enter the url of the kml file in the gMM search it will bring up the placemarks of those caches for you without having to hand enter all the coords.
