Showing a map for an Outlook Contact Address

[Picsou]

Hi,

Showing a map for an Outlook 2007 Contact Address has always worked perfectly.

It doesn't work anymore for several days.
- When I go to the details of a contact in Outlook 2007, and I click the
"map" button, then I get a map of Europe.
- I do not get the geographical instantly anymore

Microsoft discontinued the Live Map add-in for Outlook some time ago and don't
intend to fix it. Were you using the Live Map add-in?

Nope Brian, no add-in.
I just use the out-of-the-box Office 2007 version

Does it do this for every contact? If the address isn't mapable, it will
show the continent.

Hi Diane,

It DID it for every contact, but I have found the culprit.

I had put some languages (Dutch - English - French) in "Tools - Internet
Options - Languages" of Internet Explorer 8

When I delete the languages, the maps are showing without problem.

Maybe this information is helpful to you and other users having the same
problem.

Kind regards

Interesting - as long as English was set as default, it still shoulda
worked, but I can understand how it would default to France if French was
set as the default.

Brian, I have been trying to find out what happened to the Live Search Maps
add-in for Outlook and this is the first statement that I've seen about it
being discontinued (though I had guessed that this was probably the
situation, but was disappointed not to find any announcement about it). Can
you refer me to any more information on this?

While I don't recall seeing a general annoucement, here's why they
discontinued it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961081
