I''m building a Mapstraction coverage index, comparing all the providers Maps, Routes, and Geocoding coverage. Right now I only have Google & MapQuest, because I already had their data at hand. We still need: - Yahoo - Microsoft - Map24 - MultiMap - OpenStreetMap (this will be hard to put a simple label to) http://mapstraction.com/coverage.html If you know people at these companies, can you ask them to provide just a CSV or Excel or something of coverage by country? The idea then is to actually provide a function within Mapstraction for someone to query coverage of a country or at a Lat/Lon point, to then get back list of viable providers at that location.

In that case I''ll just assume they have map coverage commensurate with directions coverage and no coverage elsewhere. Thanks Mikel. So far, I''ve also received info from Map24/Mapsolute, and an automated "confirmation of support request" from MultiMap :) On Dec 10, 2007 5:30 AM, Mikel Maron <mikel_maron at yahoo.com> wrote:> I asked, and Yahoo provided just these blog posts... > > http://ylocalblog.com/blog/page/2/ > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andrew Turner <ajturner at highearthorbit.com> > To: mapstraction at lists.mapstraction.com > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 6:58:49 PM > Subject: [Mapstraction] Mapstraction Coverage Index > > > I''m building a Mapstraction coverage index, comparing all the > providers Maps, Routes, and Geocoding coverage.
