It's Now Easier Than Ever To Get Directions And Distance Between Two Places On Bing

Microsoft today announced an update on Bing Search experience that will allow you to know directions and distance between two places easier than ever. You don’t need to go Bing Maps to find directions and distances, just type in Bing Search box, you will get it.

Recently, we rolled out a faster way for you to get directions between two places on Bing*. Now, when you search for driving directions from say, Los Angeles to San Diego, we’ll surface the estimated travel time, mileage and map at the top of the search results page on Bing.

When you click on the map or the “turn by turn directions” link, we’ll launch the Bing Maps experience where you will see a detailed set of turn-by-turn directions. Because we know directions are most useful when you’re on the go, we’ve enabled this mobile browse experience across the top smart phones including Windows Phone, iPhone and Android devices.

Microsoft Bing team today shared few sample queries you can try out for yourself. Notice that Bing is now accepting natural language queries, we might see this more in action using upcoming Cortana digital assistant on Windows Phone devices.
