Sweet, I had begun to use M.S. live local and Yahoo Maps due to the fact that Google Maps didn’t have these features. Now I can go back to using the maps that I prefer.

Maps are dumb. Don't you people have any sense of direction? Morons.

yeah man and like air.. air is so lame and.. food, food is even lamer. Only idiots breathe air and eat food.
Honestly two of the most idiotic troglodyte inspired mesages Ive ever seen. How anyone could let their 6 or 7 year olds surf and post their idiocy so freely boggles the mind (and yes I am refering to the 'lame map' dorks ).

grownups: does it have mattered of what others say? if u see something, and that something is really neat and useful, u'll know it, and the world will know it. we should know by now that there will always be people who like or want to say things that are inflammatory, just to see how u react. so, i'd say, be a grown-up, and be confident in urself, and just ignore the stupid comments because that's just what they are - plain stupid.

as to google's attempt to open up the api in the hope in spur innovation, that's a very nice posture. in time, no one know what google will become, after they get too rich and big and powerful. but for now, this is one of the niceties coming out of google that i would say, bravo. :)

The map is not the territory. I read that in a book by Richard Bandler.

Seems like most of these comments come from women that have a hard time finding their way around town and constantly have to stop and ask for directions. Annoying.

And yes, I love Sangina.
