Yahoo Local Maps Get Even Better
Writing by Brick Marketing on Thursday, March 6, 2008
For anyone using Yahoo local maps, things just got a lot better. For local advertising businesses and end users alike, you´ll find that Yahoo local maps are improving, signs that this site isn´t giving up on anything just because they have the opportunity to sell!
According to the Yahoo Local blog, there are a number of new features this time around, including the following:
- 300 cities with new neighborhood data added throughout North America, from Palo Alto, to Chicago, to Toronto, etc.
- Expanded Worldwide Coverage with much improved coverage, especially throughout Eastern Europe.
- City label density increased for better usability
- Lighter map tiles – with an average of 30-60% reduction in size
All of these make Yahoo local maps that much easier to use and finding businesses will be simpler, as well. Google may still have the lead on map traffic, but Yahoo is obviously working hard to keep up and they are doing a great job of it.
