The maps feature on all three search engines has been a great and powerful tool. It is no surpise that the race to out do each other is evident. How far will it go?

Steven, why is Googlemaps your least favorite. Don’t you find it to be more dynamic, especially with their map API and their street views? 3D is still virtual and street views shows you reality.

I’m usually not a big Microsoft Supporter, but I have to give them credit for where it’s due. Live Maps is a good product. I like Yahoo for maps as well, but Microsoft is doing maps better in my opinion.

Surprisingly Google which really got all the map stuff started is my least favorite of the three.

This is a wonderful move by Yahoo. Yahoo has alwyays been known for their great YahooMaps before Google started to dominate this field. YahooMaps were accurate and I even remember a few people that would save maps that they routed for their destinations and saved them in a binder. The new features that Yahoo has rolled out can certainly compete with Google’s advanced mapping system. The use of KML will now allow user to import their personal like you could do with Google. It seems that Yahoo has a few tricks up their sleeves.

The Australian has a bogus argument about Google. They don’t have a lot of brainpower over there. Google isn’t highlighting or calling attention to one person’s property. The Australian wants to highlight in response. Let me give those idiots an example. The phone book has many names and addresses and phone numbers of those names. Say I worked at Google and I saw my name, address and phone number listed and blending in with all the other name, addresses and phone numbers. Should I get pissed and call the phone book company up and tell them I work for Google and tell them I am going to put the CEOs name, telephone number and address on Google’s homepage for hundreds of millions to see because my name, address and phone number are listed in the phone book blending in with all the others? How stupid would that be? Big difference right. You say that you have the option of not being listed in the phone book? Google gives anybody the option of people taking photos of their property down from website although those pictures are taken from public streets and Google has a right, but they will take it down if the person does not want the photo up.

Why they do this expanding almost in the same time?
