Microsoft is adding some making some changes to its services in the coming weeks. A new page will offer a many new features making it easier to find and print driving directions. Here are a few of new features:

• A new display mode will let you compress the first few or last few directions. If you’re tired of wasting paper by printing out the 5 step directions for getting out of your driveway, this feature could make your day (and prolong your printer’s days).
• The two-box search bar at the top of the page will be transformed into a single search box with multiple tabs.
• There’s a new option to select the best route to avoid current traffic.
• A new 1-click directions feature will let you search for a location and then get directions to that location from the North, South, East, or West.

The question we need to ask ourselves is are we going to start using Live Search maps now?
