Please note: both Action Engine and Microsoft are located in Redmond in state Washington in USA. This geographical proximity helps Action Engine to gain better access to Microsoft's technologies... For more information check our website later for the interview with Steve Lombardi from Microsoft - apart from MapPoint web services, this interview covers also new revolutionary Microsoft´s platform solution for Location Based Services...
