Oh yeah - that Yahoo Maps API is simply incredible - What really gets me excited, is I think I can take my existing Lake Maps & other topographical Land Maps for my commercial website, and overlay the Yahoo Maps information on top of my existing information.
Talk about giving the user the power to get incredible amounts of information, for any given area. I am sure Yahoo is only getting warmed up, with what they plan to do with that whole thing. Raw Data is one thing - but to deliver *meaningful* data to the masses, is where the true power of information comes into play. It's a very exciting time to be a programmer right now, you just need to carve out your niche and deliver the best product that you can.
