With Live Search for Devices (LS4D), you can build search experiences into a navigation application that provides users with up-to-date, relevant, location-aware Points of Interest (POI) that are extracted from the White Pages (residential) or Yellow Pages (commercial) online phone books.
Important
LS4D is supported only for current customers that already have a Device Group ID. Microsoft is no longer accepting new requests for Device Group IDs for LS4D.
