Re:direct comparison of Google, Yahoo and MS (Score 1)

Very cool! The group I work with recently had some interesting results when comparing Yahoo and Google Maps. Among other things, we found that Yahoo is much better with directions on street addresses. For example, Yahoo will convert "North" to "N" and "South" to "S" automatically, whereas Google will ask you the "Did you Mean _____?" question. I remembered this story on NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?stor yId=5140674) that did a comparison of the different online maps and their accuracy. Quite interesting that they all use very similar (if not the same) data.
