  online maps redirect Reply Contact Hi!   I'm using NAV 5.0 inside a virtual machine along with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. When I click the maps icon in order to get the map for a client, for example, maps.msn.co.uk opens up, but I'm quickly redirected to maps.live.com. My problem is that I can't get the same behaviour in my local instalation of NAV 5.0. I tried two maps configurations (http://maps.msn.com/ and http://mappoint.msn.com/). The only difference I can see is the configuration menu title. In the virtual machine I see "Online map setup" and on the local installation I see "MapPoint setup". So, how can I get maps displayed in the Live Maps service on my local installation?   Thanks

  Re: online maps redirect Reply Contact Hi, First of all - what country version are you running? It could simply be a "localisation" issue gives you as different name for the setup . . . Secondly - the address has an influence on where you get directed to - e.g. an US or UK address will go to live from the msn address, whereas one from DK or NL goes to the Map Point site - that is something that the local msn site "decides". Did you get a different result with the same address? - and if yes, please post it and I'll have a look . . . /Michael

When I change the address to a country like the US, for example, it redirects me to Live Search Maps. If I use a Portuguese address, I get MSN Maps & Directions. I'm guessing there's no way that I can change that, right? How about changing the maps service altogether? :)
