View Map only goes to Expedia

[xwb]

Sorry - another Outlook Express question. If I click on a contact's properties, under home, there is a button "View Map". This is probably OK for the US which takes you to Expedia but in the UK it would be better if it was either Streetmap or Multimap.

Is there a simple way to change where it goes to for the map?

I haven't been able to find a way to change the map provider but did find this tidbit online that may help:
-----------------------------------------
Mapping addresses from inside of Outlook

To do so, start by opening your contacts list. Double-click the contact you want to map to display the contact’s information. Next, select the Actions menu. Select Display Map Of Address. Outlook will then launch Internet Explorer. Rather than connecting to Expedia, Outlook will connect to MapPoint at MSN.

Plaxo has an add-in for OE that uses Yahoo maps but it's not international yet. Hope this helps.

BTW, Streetmap has a tip on their site for Outlook integration. I don't do a lot with coding but you may find it useful. Here's the URL:

MultiMap doesn't seem to offer tips for this capability but they were just purchased on 12/2007 by Microsoft, so you may see support within Outlook in the future.

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can work out something similar for Outlook Express
