Mapping Outlook Contacts

Do you have a person or business in your Outlook Contacts that you need to visit? If you’ve entered a complete address, you can easily view a map for that location. Here’s how:

  • Open an Outlook contact whose complete address is contained in the “Address” line.
  • Locate and click the map icon on the toolbar within the open contact. The map icon is a yellow diamond with a black curved arrow. It looks like a traffic sign.
  • Your web browser will open and present a map showing the location of that address in MSN Maps.
  • You can zoom in for a closer view, zoom out for a bird’s eye view and get driving directions to the contact’s address.

Print the map, and away you go. Drive safely!
