The "Live Traffic" feature is neat.

Otherwise, I think I prefer Google's product.

Since I'm more or less homebound, it works well for my needs.

I didn't see where Yahoo had the aerial photos. Am I missing it?
The google photos have terrible resolution for our area. I was hoping that Yahoo would have better resolution.

Help?
