TOKYO (AP) — Toyota is teaming up with Microsoft for an Internet service that links cars, home computers and smartphones so users can find nearby tourist spots, connect on social networks and learn about new models.

The beefed up version of Toyota’s Internet site Gazoo.com starts May 30 in Japan, and will be based on “cloud” computing from Microsoft Corp. called Windows Azure. Overseas plans are still undecided.
