I made a simple exampe of the Windows Live (Local.live.com). When you hover over the fist link you'll see the picture that I added to it.
This is a neat way to send maps to people.
You can also see traffic / construction areas marked on the maps.
Collection info is here: (the way to make custom maps)

And though I can't see how to get it to work on my collection, if you enter something like mcdonalds or sears, and it finds a location, the phone number you see in the left pane has the option of letting you connect to the number for free. you put in YOUR phone number, and the windows live phone bank calls you AND the place you searched, and connects the both of you. pretty neat.
