Google Maps vs. Yahoo Maps

Nog een aardige vergelijking van TechCrunch: vijf aanbieders van online kaarten en wel Ask Maps, Google Maps, Mapquest, Windows Live Local en Yahoo Maps Beta. De winnaar: Yahoo Maps.

Mapquest is the most popular mapping service but lags on features and usability. Google is the most notable and has a ubiquitous API. Windows Live Local dazzles with its creative views and features but falls short of the others in direction functionality. Mapquest offers a number of features but still is missing satellite imagery, which makes it trail the competitors in core functionality. Ask Maps is a worthy competitor but had the highest error rate of the group.

Overall, Yahoo Maps was by far the best application tested. Its fast Flash interface, multipoint directions, live traffic information, and easy send-to-mobile feature make it the hands down winner. It also features the most robust API options.

Zo kan het ook: een aanzoek via Google Maps. Wel even inzoomen.
En nu maar hopen dat ze ‘ja’ zegt.
