Google Maps

I agree with Jeremy (see: Goodbye Mapquest) with Yahoo and Google both providing exceptional maps with their search results it will be difficult for Mapquest to keep it’s revenue stream.

It’s fascinating the level and depth of information that search engines are providing today. It used to be that you would literally “surf” the web, randomly clicking from one link to the next. Yahoo started by providing a directory of sites based on categories, an online yellow pages of sorts. Today if you want something you search for it and chances are you will see what you want on the first page of results. Now we have local searches, tell the search engine where you are and what you are looking for and you get a map with icons.
Computers and networks are getting faster and bigger, allowing organizations to store and retrieve more and more information. One day will we be able to retrieve all of the knowledge available on the planet on a cell phone?
