Yahoo Maps Beta LogoYahoo! Maps is offering a Beta version which is based on Flash<\/strong>! – shock & horror<\/em> – What were they thinking? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I do like it. It’s snappy, looks good and simply works. (hearing that MS?) Go see the Yahoo! Maps Beta<\/a> for yourself.
\nFor instance check out the ubiquitous “Pizza in Redmond<\/a>” sample. Hover & click to see more info. Nice. Although at the largest zoom-level you won’t find anything.<\/p>\n

Another nice feature is Live Traffic with which you’ll get up-to-date traffic info like congestions and construction work details. Now all they need to do is add the rest of the world and of course satellite imagery. Take a look at the features overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How about an API<\/abbr> you ask? Here are the Yahoo! Maps Developer APIs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Also see TechCrunch’s story on the Yahoo! Maps Beta<\/a> and WeBreakStuff’s first look<\/a> .<\/p>\n

On a sidenote: Is it the time of the year or what? It seems everyone is releasing stuff like crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
