I find these beta maps forced on us!–by yahoo, msn, maporama, mapquest and google so irritating! Is there no one left offering a map where you can actually find an address in Europe? I keep thinking, where is this and printing is out of the question. I just spent an hour on the phone trying desperately to get directions to someone and gave up. I feel like I’m living an episode of the Emperor’s New Clothes. What kind of sorry hoohah did the inventor of this crap use to sell this idiocy?

For all you people blaming Yahoo/Google/America for the poor coverage of Europe - blame your own governments. The US government provides huge amounts of geographic data collected by them to the public (and thus to Google/Yahoo) for free, whereas European governments restrict their geographic data and/or charge outrageous prices.

where the heck is Europe?!

Its as if the world was flat - and Americans dont know the rest of the world exists! Not unlike American foriegn policy, one might say.

Yahoo.com needs to be reminded that the World Wide Web is WORLD WIDE.

wow, it is very good, and this is why I love competition. The other will always try and do better. As for Europe, it is a pity, but that will soon come as more people from there generate interest.
