At the MMS in Las Vegas we showed off the new Savision Live Maps Vista gadget, that's going to be part of the new release of Live Maps. We got nothing but great feedback and want to share it with those of you that weren't able to make it to the MMS.

Each gadget shows a summary of the state of a specific view. Using a fly-out you can open the view itself straight from your desktop. The cool thing is you can run multiple instances of the gadget in the sidebar. You don't even need to have the OpsMgr console installed. I find that since I run a set of these gadgets I hardly open the OpsMgr console anymore.

So... this is what it looks like on my desktop.

There is a free version of Live Maps available, download it now.
