Urgh. That is one small, ugly, counter-intuitive map. And where's the sallelite imagery?
And to top it off, if I click on one of the 'find' categories directly above the map I go to a non-map search. Aside: When will people learn – right clicks are for context menus *only*. |
Nothing to see here. Move along. |
Those maps are awful! What a rubbish product. |
Yahoo "UK & Ireland" is pretty bad at the "Ireland" bit.
Try searching for "Dublin" (the capital of Ireland) and you get:
Please choose from:
* Dublin Street, Liverpool, L3 7 * Dublin Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6 *....(etc)....
The whole thing is basically a poor interface to Map24 (www.Map24.co.uk). Yahoo's poor offering is even less excusable, because Map24 is actually rather good (and handles Ireland no problem). I wonder why Yahoo bothers to present sub-par tools like this when Google Maps or even Microsoft's maps are so much better. |
Well done Yahoo!. Only two weeks after most of the world stopped being interested in what was happening in Germany. |
Heh. But I think it's actually targeted at German users mostly... |
