Yesterday, marked the launch of 'Gemini' - the latest version of Live Search Maps.  I've been playing around with it and it is awesome!

Images below depict the ability to route around traffic.  

 

Steve Lombardi says:

"Some of my favorite new stuff includes the new Party maps, Birds Eye navigation in 3D, automatic routing around traffic, and data import including GeoRSS, GPX, and KML. And that just scratches the surface. You can jump right in and try it at http://maps.live.com or read on to get an overview of everything that's new. "
