Outlook: View a Map of a Contact’s Address

Heading out to a meeting or going to visit a friend whose address you have stored in Microsoft Outlook? You can quickly link to a map without having to type the address into a search engine. Simply go to your Contacts list, double-click to open a contact of your choice, then click the ‘Map It’ button right next to the Address field (it’s the one with the icon of a pin stuck in a map).

Your Web browser will automatically open and search for a map of the address using Bing. Keep in mind that you’ll have to have an active Internet connection for this feature to work.
