They've combined it with Multimap.


Though today things seem to have reverted back to how they were - when
I enter the http://maps.live.com into the address bar or click on
the "Maps" tab on the Live Search home page at http://www.live.com
I'm no longer redirected towards Multimap.

Were the complaints directed towards Microsoft deafening, or is this
perhaps merely a temporary reprieve for UK users because the Multimap
servers couldn't hack it?

Can one read anything into the fact that the Multimap home page at
http://www.multimap.com/ is still displaying the "Multimap from Live
Search graphic"? Probably not.

However even if UK users are once again redirected to the Multimap
service in the future then as Paul Oter kindly pointed out upthread
(to the great relief of Mr Rowland) they can still get to the original
Live Search Map service via this URL: http://maps.live.com/?mkt=en-us
