Windows Maps has just updated on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile and has added several new features such as lane guidance in turn-by-turn navigation and the ability for users to pin their Work and Home locations to Start which will allow one-tap directions to these two locations from wherever they are.To help get Windows Map users into the Christmas spirit, a special feature allowing for the tracking of Santa Claus has been added, however this feature is only available in specific regions and is strangely absent over here in Australia where we very much celebrate Christmas and share America’s passion for tracking ol’ Kris Kringle (who is totally real).Another new addition to the Windows Maps app with this update is the new Cameras option which actually streams live footage from select traffic cameras. This feature appears to be limited to North American users and even then only in some select locations.Will this update encourage you to use Windows Maps more ordo you prefer another app such as HERE Maps? Let us know in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
