Bing shopping mall maps help you find the food court

Bing has just announced mall maps, taking maps to the hyper-local department store level. Not only are mall maps "US-only," but nearly all of the current offerings are located in Microsoft's home state of Washington. There are actually a couple of New York malls in the list -- as well as a single one from Boston, Massachusetts.

Bing gives you a fully browsable "you are here" mall directory that integrates seamlessly with the Bing street map. Simply zoom in to get a look at a mall and see the layout of the stores -- try Seattle Premium Outlets to get a feel for what it's like. The Bing team will continue adding malls, but only in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
