Yahoo's been in the mapping business longer than a lot of companies. But the
Sunnyvale company has let its competitors leapfrog it in one key area -
satellite imagery. That's finally changed.
Yahoo's Jeremy Kreitler announced at SDForum last tonight that Yahoo has
finally adding that capability to the
Yahoo Maps beta. Why
did it take so long? Yahoo product manager Michael Lawless says the company has
been focused on "the navigation space and the accuracy and usability" of its
current map service.
