Microsoft Live Search (aka Maps) Application Available on Sidekick

Sidekick Maps and Directions via Microsoft Live Search Application

I’ve been waiting a long long time for mapping software to come to the Sidekick. For many years all that was available was either slow and tedious web-based mapping or the Google Maps developer app that was only available to developers. Finally the cries of many a lost Sidekick user have been answered. MSDanger has released the MS Live Search app (built by Requiem Software Labs) into the catalog on 4.x devices (2008, LX, and Slide) today. It takes care of all your mapping and searching for local businesses needs. You can do street mapping, aerial views, get directions, and even view traffic. You can also search for businesses and types of businesses near an address, movies, and even find the cheapest gas near you. And the best part? It’s totally free and there are no monthly fees!

For all you Sidekick 2009 Blade junkies out there, this is big news too. Remember when I posted about the next Sidekick having “Microsoft Live Local Search and Maps”? Well here it is. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that these maps would work hand in hand with the GPS capabilities of the Sidekick 2009. And the fact that the app is free makes me think it’ll come standard on the Sidekick 2009

    10. love-my-LX Says:

      well all you got to do is go into your download catalog and then go into applications and from there i went into the featured folder and thats where it was! ^_^ (wait so do you need 3g to go on youtube? because if you don’t cant they send an OTA to allow you to see it on your phone??? )

    11. just somebody Says:

      its interesting that if you go to the developers website, it says that develop for the t-mobile sidekick and other powered by danger devices…. what other powered by danger devices are there?

      Its kinda cool.. but i thought it would be like some and speak the directions but its still cool and it was free!

      He’s Back!! =D

    23. ThatSoup Says:

      This is very exciting because it leaves the browser free to do its own thing and it has the cursor-controlled pan and zoom functions. It would be nice if the Address book would use it for searches and if it had a way to do a full screen mode, where it didn’t have the top bar that says the program, power and signal strength.

    24. recognizedakick Says:

      Yo! I’m TOTALLY feeling this! It so much fun to play with and actually gives me directions!! So I can stop using Mapquest on my phone and just go straight to here. Exciting! I’m glad its free because I may not have downloaded it as quickly but I think they did a nice job with this! =D

    25. love-my-LX Says:

      I wonder… what other apps could they make that are free that we could use?

      Yes I totally agree! Very nice work microsoft live! I’m very grateful for an app like this on my sidekick… Especially one that is free!

    27. recognizedakick Says:

      I’m so surprised about this app being free considering what it can do. I mean when was the last time we were offered a free app? And one as efficient as this? That directions feature is just a bit crazy. Much faster and easier to read than mapquest (on the phone). And it doesnt act retarded neither! If I put in an address it recognizes it immediately and doesnt ask “did you mean…?” The zooming is kinda cool too. I actually feel a lil spoiled! =P Cmon Danger, dont be shy. If you wanna give anything else out for free I’m good with it and I’m sure other SK users wouldnt mind. I’m jus sayin =D

    28. Setnakt Says:

      This is one of the best apps ever! I can’t believe it’s free ether. Makes you wonder why this is free and uses the network, bit the crappy Photobucket app not only isn’t free but has a reoccuring fee to boot! Not that I care the Photobucket TOS is ridiculious, especially the new limits to storage, becides got the memory card for thousands of pics, no big loss there, and no someone else decidiing to delete my pics for BS “reasons”. Now that Microsoft has started making apps I wonder what others they will do and if they will be as good and free like this? Got to compete with other lame smartphones so maybe they finally are getting the messiage. About time, but this is what you get if you have a little patience and don’t jump ship soon as the wind blows. Been with Sidekicks since the 1st BW device, it only gets better! Can’t wait to see what the 2009 can do with something like this on my LX :-)

    29. pLaTaNo p0w3r Says:

      ahh I love it,this is awesome =) ,well not that I need it much, but maps are interesting to me, very nice,I wanna see more free useful apps

    30. AjA George Says:

      Finally. I’ve been an AVID user of the Sidekick since the 2. I haven’t had any other phone, I couldn’t. But it always made me so SAD how behind in technology they were. But I do believe that they always set the mold somehow. Whether it be a full QWERTY keyboard or a trackball. Now we’ve finally got Maps. Live traffic is probably the coolest thing for me because it shows that they’re using the network constantly with no break. Imagine this app with GPS like the next Sidekick is supposed to have? I’m so happy with this application. It just made my entire week THAT much better. LoL.

      -AjA-

    31. Adawg! Says:

      WOW!!! I must agree! This is so cool! I have been waiting for this forever! LOL and it even offers more then i thought it was going to! LOL

    32. DieselBT Says:

      Amazing! A free app better than LED Football and Calulator COMBINED. Yes, better than LED FOOTBALL! MSDanger have really outdone themselves this time!

      But seriously… lovin’ the new app! :)

    33. Joi Says:

      I love the new feature but I can’t figure out how the “traffic” app is supposed to work. I saved a veiw and everytime I go to it, shows the same car making the same right hand turn. I noticed that the pics are 100% live. All the locations I have tried they all seem to be pics from the past summer. Oh well I guess. I am just happy there is a mapping feature on my LX

    34. Colin Says:

      Traffic will over lay a green, orange or red line on top of the road with traffic indicating its level of congestion. If there is no overlay, there has been no traffic reported. Hope that helps!

      Where are you looking. Catalog, Apps (not games).

      BTW, Gotta have an LX/Side/2008

      ~~~~~~~~

      That said, this thing is AWESOME!! It is like we just got another OTA!!! Requiem (the Software House who actually wrote the app) did an awesome job!!

      I think this will bump up the total number of data downloads to devices.

      Sidekick is T-Mobile’s brand of Danger’s “Hiptop” device. it goes by Hiptop in International (and non-T-Mobile) markets.

      Applications–> Featured–>Live Search – Local Mapping (Free)

      Slow down people… I found it, downloaded it and played with it in traffic. It is an improvement. I have a confession…. I was engaged in iPhone talk this morning with a friend after a 1 night stand with one last night. And after viewing the price plans, I can’t find myself getting one. 20 extra bux for unlimited texting? fcuk that! I will wait for the 2009 to go 3G and upgrade.

    41. Bearmon Says:

      I tried it and it is awesome but loading is a little bit slow.. I hope they can speed it up or can’t they ?

      Edge can only do so much. Imagine what wifi and 3g can do!! guess we will have to wait for 2009.

      It is still faster than any web-based map program (Google, Yahoo, Maps On Us, etc.)

    43. justin Says:

      so green is little traffic , ornage is medium traffic , red is a lot of traffic, and if the arrows have no color than there’s no traffic?

    44. Bearmon Says:

      @ncmacasL,

      Cool.. I guess I will wait for next year to replace it. I dont need 2009 version of this year anyway. :)

    45. Colin Says:

      One recommendation if your SD card is scanning slowly is to save off the information on it and then reformat it using menu-settings-memory card off of the jump screen. You’ll see a huge improvement. Just make sure you don’t delete everything on the card accidentally, make sure you save it off somewhere else!

    46. stephy Says:

      OMG! this is awesomeeee. i never thought the day would come!xD once i saw that the application was free i went straight to my catalog to find it.
      thanks hiptop3.com!:D

    47. crazyforiphones Says:

      U guys are so funny, getting hot and bothered by a map application. Hahahha, the g1 and iphone has thousands upon thousands of free apps and games. I can only imagine how happy you would be if you owned one.

      Hahaha

    48. gizmo Says:

      lets not get too ahead of ourselves here! this is only the beginning!! there will be a much better network coming to the kick that is faster and we will have gps on the next one! let those towers triangulate for us and we shall never be lost again!! mwa ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!!!! {evil laughter}

      the sidekick blade is going to be a phone that we will all be proud to carry. there will be more people to carry one of these things and hopefully microdanger will let us make it our own by putting pics as backgrounds and let us use our mp3’s as ring tones. that would be nice. we gettin screwed hard by tmobile/danger by having to pay for ringtones.

      this map thing will come in handy for me in a few hours. im going to have to use it to catcha flick. i want to see the stupid comedy, mall cop with the fat white dude in it from king of queens. he is funny.

      QFE. Sidekick 3 is not even in danger’s minds. Downloading sonic the hedgehog was probably the worst thing I did to my sidekick 3. It was suuupper laggy! I’m not even going to consider downloading it to my sidekick lx because I was afraid of the same thing happening. I might actually fork out the $5 for it on the blade tho. :)

      Yeahh I am wondering why it shows the memory card being used also…

      I definitely like this, it uses up the batter, but it’s not like i’m gonna be on it all day.

      The program uses your SD card (if available) to cache the map data. I’m assuming they did that so it could re-load map tiles quicker than having to request them from the service.

      Great app, but is anybody else having a problem with the map data loading? Sometimes certain tiles won’t load for me, so I’ll have these gray boxes all over the screen. No matter how long I wait, they never load. Sometimes just changing the view will help, but it seems like only very rarely will it load the whole map.

      On the flipside, the directory assistance works great. Very easy to find a business and I love the popup with the linked phone number. Getting directions to/from it are a cinch too.

      Gps uses satelites to navigate, not cell towers.

      does anyone wanna borrow my ipod touch for a day, it will turn you to an iphone lover.

      ha!!!! the ipod’s battery makes the sk’s battery seem like energizer or duracell. has anyone used the ipod touch??? doesn’t last more than 3 hours!!!!! and people say the sk batteries suck.

      It needs some kind of “my location” feature to find you. For LX users, it can triangulate your location like the OG iPhone and the blade can just use the GPS to find itself. Yeah mines been giving me the grey tile problem too. I think too many people are using it right now since its new and exciting. Like whenever a new Sidekick launches and everything runs slow for the first few days

      Setnakt says: I’m having the same problem. PLUS take note, the “favorites” is utterly USELESS if you EVER uninstall the app, they are then ALL ERASED! Real “nice” huh? WTF?!?

    91. Setnakt Says:

      Found the “solution”! Just buy a totaly new SD card every few days (or reformat and erase all your data), OR totaly delete and re-”purchase” the app every few days and it works “fine”. Damn this SUCKS! Ok well, at least it’s “free”, but favorites are totaly useless that’s for damn sure. Hopefully the 2009 version will do better, a LOT better, or I’m just buying some physical maps and saying to hell with this sh*t!

      Be quiet! We believe in freedom of speech, conscience, opinion, and expression, thank you.

    99. JacksonJawbreaker Says:

      I love how people come here and say how great their iPhone is. The battery and typing SUCK. You can’t send pic messages and it crashes frequently. You like the iPhone, we like the Sidekick. We like to type, you like to touch. I have a SK08 AND an iPod touch 2nd gen and I would kill myself if I had to type on the touch. Stop obsessing over a supposedly inferior phone by coming to a site devoted to it. Stop hating, there’s an app for that.

      Finally! :D

    101. Setnakt Says:

      Well anyway the pointless bashing and flaming aside, I’m noticeing that the application is working properly again like it did at first. I wrote Danger at their support addy, didn’t expect a reply (there was none), what I did expect was for them to look into the problem and fix it. Give it more server capasity for the large volume of users (I guess they didn’t figure it would be this popular even though it’s a free app!) or whatever. I guess enough other people also wrote them, because my email was “answered” by them getting the app back running like it should. So good job Microsoft-Danger!

      UPDATE! Check your Catalogs, the app has been “upgraded”. This is the 1st upgraded app (or game) that I’ve seen at least where they tell you what the upgrade is, namely; “now with better map delivery”. So as per my last post on this, look like Microsoft/Danger listened to our complaints! And this was FAST. I’ve not had any futher problems with map delivery since last Saturday regardless, but I’m betting that was the server-end fix, this is the app-end fix to finish the job. So I’m downloading the upgrade now, I suggest everyone else who got this app do so also.

      Can anyone answer my question? I just downloaded it today on my sidekick. It’s working fine, but when I’m searching for addresses, it’s not showing up correctly!!! I’m in Minnesota and it never lists results found in Minnesota, but they do for other states. Do you guys know why it’s doing this?

      @Setnakt,

      Thanks and done! :D
