Today we’re proud to introduce a new version of Yahoo! Maps, which includes an update to Yahoo! Local Search integration, usability, and Print Page improvements.
These past few months we’ve focused on improving the usability of Yahoo! Maps, and some of the modifications we encourage you to try include:
- Improved Local Search integration that utilizes the Search/Direct Display Index
- More user-friendly Driving Directions – a more user-friendly left rail that’s both wider and more legible (larger text), for easier reading of driving directions
- A redesigned Print Page
- The ability to minimize multiple driving direction instructions to save vertical space
- The ability to display inline turn-by-turn images for each driving direction segment
- An Interactive Print Page Map
- Users can now select from a variety map views (full route, full route + finish, full route + start + finish)
- Drag/Pan/zoom functionality for print page maps
- Interactivity between Points of Interest (POIs) and Map view; minimized POIs are removed from the map view
- Improved POIs – with ability to minimize/collapse multiple POIS to maximize viewing area
Stay tuned for updates and improvements throughout 2008, as Yahoo! Geo Technologies continues bringing the world to your fingertips!
Cheers,
Gus Maldonado, Sr. Product Manager, Yahoo! Geo Technologies

one of the options I liked about the old yahoo maps was I could select different venues for a city I was looking. sports, community services… and I was able to find schools and sporting destinations we were taking our buses too to play sports… where can I get that option now with the new format of yahoo maps?
