It’s about time: finally the maps at maps.yahoo.com use anti-aliasing for the text. Check out this comparison of the Yahoo map of the White House, which uses anti-aliased text, vs. the MapQuest map of the White House, which does not. It makes a big difference in the total amount of meaningful data that you can load onto an image. Something I don’t understand is who’s doing the graphical heavy-lifting… both Yahoo and MapQuest list Navigation Technologies as their partner on the actual image. Maybe Yahoo is just paying more. Anybody out there know?
