Yahoo on Thursday updated its map service to include more data about specific neighborhoods, broader international coverage, and stylistic changes, but it’s still not the easiest map on the eyes.
The neighborhood details cover 12,000 areas in 300 cities in North America, and more of Eastern Europe is included. Points of interest like schools and ski resorts are highlighted now, and Yahoo is using more pastel colors. But there’s also an obnoxious large ad in the lower left corner that is very distracting. I prefer Google’s simpler site to either Yahoo Maps or Microsoft Live Maps.
