Comparisons Between Google and Yahoo Map Data

12365 Riata Trace Pky, Austin, TX 78727 the home of a certain technology company I am fond of, and the vicinity of 8100 Campeche Bay Pl, Round Rock, TX, 78681 happen to be strangely woefully inaccurate in googles map service, i suppose it relates to the NavTeq vs TeleAtlas pissing contest over API availability and so forth, either way, whoever provides Yahoo the nice data on Round Rock, really did well. Now if Yahoos offerings were more coherent (just a bit so) and less ad-intrusive, they could really have something going! I will give them more attention for the time being, methinks, due to their meritorious lack of inaccuracy.

Until next time, I go to play some Republic of Rome.
