Google Maps beta

[Deuce300]

dude, google maps rule. i can't believe how much easier it is to move your viewing area compared to mapquest. hopefully the finished product keeps with the sweet ui for the maps and improves functionality for trips.

looks good so far. mapquest and yahoo, who's your daddy

I'm sold on google also. Much nicer and faster to drag the map. I always hated clicking the arrow and waiting for the whole page to refresh.

If you like Keyhole, try http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

This is awesome. Move over Mapquest and Yahoo.

This is way better than MapQuest for maps. I think that Google is going to take over the internet.

 

[Keltron]

this is what I always wanted. i cant believe no one else did it before.
thats what happened when you do something with originality instead of following somebody else

This map is definitely bad @55!

 

[jdub1107]

No more yahoo maps for me.

The accuracy near where I live is WAY off. Road names wrong, town names replacing village names...of course, it is kinda backwoods...

 

[MrPaulAR]

I knew it was backwoods when you said "town names replacing village names" LOL

SOOO TRUE!

The map where I live (NYC) is perfect...no complains...

 

[Necrolezbeast]

On my trip I am taking tomorrow, I will go by what both mapquest and yahoo maps told me. They are both the same distance while the map google generated is 100 miles longer. (Saint George, UT to Glendale, AZ)

it's almost as good as ms streets & trips.

Simply put, beta is a trial release, not quite ready for retail/final. They have people "beta test" to find the glaring and hidden bugs/quirks and then correct them.
