A map Accelerator using the IE8 Accelerators Smart tagAccelerators are a form of selection-based search which allow a user to invoke an online service from any other page using only the mouse.[26] Actions such as selecting the text or other objects will give users access to the usable Accelerator services (such as blogging with the selected text, or viewing a map of a selected geographical location), which can then be invoked with the selected object.
