Is there any rationale offered by Google for the switch? I've
submitted four error reports to Tele Atlas, all reporting significant
inaccuracies within one mile of my house. So now I use Yahoo maps when
I need to know how something really looks. Unfortunately, my runner
map uses driving directions, which Yahoo Maps API does not (yet,
anyhow) offer or I'd be re-writing it using Yahoo API already.
maps.yahoo.com and mapquest.com both use NavTeq, which seems to be
much more accurate as well as responsive to new roads and repositioned
roads, at least around here (Eastern Minnesota, Western Wisconsin).
