An interesting, very handy and with a lot of potential application for Pocket PC users is Microsoft's Windows Live Mobile Search. It provides the ability to find locations and view standard and also aerial map views on a mobile device plus also the ability to search for addresses, restaurants, cinemas and many other local points of interest.
The recently launched version 2.0 also includes other additional features such as movie showtimes, more local data (on restaurants, and other leisure establishments plus user ratings for each), maps (mobile Microsoft Virtual Earth maps, for improved performance, pop in your storage card to enable the large cache option) and directions (get found with better support for GPS integration and improved turn-by-turn navigation, even has auto-reroute if you get lost!) .
However the most important feature of Windows Live Mobile Search is... the fact that it is completely free! In fact, it's the only application of its kind paving the way towards a completely free comprehensive LBS product for Pocket PCs.
