Wow... I'm incredibly impressed by the new Yahoo Maps beta. Why do I love it?
- Zooms in on mouse wheel scroll
- Has labeled city districts on transparency overlay
- Can show live traffic
- Uses Yahoo! local data to show bars, restaurants, gas stations with 2 clicks on a menu
- Has a "Send to Phone" function
- Uses the euro-style maps like Google
- Killer API
- Functional use of browser back button (even though it uses Flash)
This is an application that should get a lot of attention, though I fear the web community is already so obsessed with everything Google, they'll barely give it a look. Not me. I was planning on having some Google maps applications built, but now that I see this, I'm going to try Yahoo! instead.
