Microsoft is expanding its local, photo-based search service into the United Kingdom, and adding traffic information for the U.S. service.
The Redmond-based software company, which is battling Google Inc. and others in the ever-expanding field of Internet search, on Wednesday began offering a test version of the online mapping service in the U.K. It also announced a limited trial in Canada.
Microsoft is planning to expand the service into other parts of Europe and North America over the next two years.
