"Display Map of Address" not working...

[outlook_user]

Hi - noticed this on two machines, one XP and the other WIN2K, both running
Outlook 2003. When I click on "Display Map of Address" for a contact, a
browser window opens, but it cannot connect to the web site it uses, which i
believe is expedia maps; so the page is just empty. I've used this feature a
lot in the past without problems, and have never had mappoint installed on
either machine. I also found this problem when trying two separate browsers
as the default. Given that i'm seeing the issue on two separate machines,
thinking it's some sort of more global issue?

thanks for any insight...

nope - doesn't help for outlook 2003 - just makes it crash like the page
says. not sure why this problem would appear on two machines, esp. after it
worked fine on both as well...

I suspect there is something screwy with the web service, but I'm not sure
what yet. I get the same error on a fresh install, so it's probably nothing
on the computer side.
