Microsoft after a 5 years development on a software called ‘Clearflow’ finally has launched ‘Microsoft Live Search Maps’ which can help you out while you are on a travel and are having problems locating places.

Live Search LogoIf you compare all the 3 Maps service providers : Google Maps, Yahoo Maps & Live Search Maps you would still stick to Google maps, then select Live Search maps because of the detail in locations and directions provided on the maps followed by Yahoo Maps which are not much user friendly in locating directions.

The main advantage of this ‘Clearflow’ software is that it can predict information from different services like Google Maps, Yahoo Maps & Mapsquest and report you in case there are traffic jams ahead with this service currently available in 72 U.S. cities. This service clearly is another example where in Microsoft is trying to compete with Google by developing similar products.
