Maps Beta is a mystery to me, although I can guess who is working on it. To stay up to date on the latest development news, join the Yahoo! Maps Developer Community. [...]

You bloggers think that just because something else is cool that you have to mention Flickr just for the hell of it?

Come on, Flickr is ok, but it’s not worth foaming at the mouth over.

They apparently just released the improvement in the last few days. You can zoom in on satellite views of areas, too.

Looking forward to seeing what’s under wraps at Flickr now you’ve got aerial photography and at least basic maps of the rest of the world. Just out of curiosity, is the mapping layer for the rest of the world just based on the public domain GNIS dataset from the US gov’t?

Maps now has satellite imagery http://geobloggers.wordpress.com/2006/04/12/yahoo-maps-the-rest-of-the-world-exists/#comment-52 Wed, 12 Apr 2006 13:24:39 +0000 http://geobloggers.com/blog1/2006/04/12/yahoo-maps-the-rest-of-the-world-exists/#comment-52 [...] About time! I actually use Yahoo! maps more than probably all the rest because I like the interface. Now I can at least take a look at imagery from areas I’m traveling to. The imagery isn’t as detailed as Google’s or ESRI’s in urban areas, but it does seem better in rural Texas where my in-laws live. As with Microsoft, Yahoo! focuses on the continental USA so if you live somewhere else, you usually don’t get as good imagery. That said you can finally use Yahoo! Maps outside the USA for basic mapping (the imagery isn’t good by any means) and it does sound like they are working to improve it. [...]
