For starters, there's no more fumbling around with your phone trying to enter your exact location. Location detection helps users automatically find their location even on phones without GPS.

They've also added predictive query input to help speed up searches. After entering a few letters, users can browse through previous searches as well as some suggested ones.

There's now an additional perspective to mapping called "Bird's Eye." This view gives a 3D-like view to help you identify places of interest.

The update supports versions of Windows mobile down to Windows Mobile 5. To download the application go to wls.live.com.
