Why did yahoo let google get ahead in Maps?

Google has a lot more money than Yahoo has to spend on side projects. There's not much Yahoo could do about it.

You Love Yahoo! Do you know why??? Now a days its too active and it is releasing more and more for yahoo Community.\n       Perhaps one reason is Google's Rivalry and Open challenges. Don't hate others in order to love one. There should be a Perfect active competition in the market. This make us to get benefited.... Right

Becuase Google's strategic direction is a step ahead of where Microsoft planned to be.  At some point your computer will be completely driven through web services, and Microsoft wants to be the host of those services.  Google is competing to beat them to the punch and has been successful.  If you pay close attention to their product releases Microsoft is right behind Google's coat tails on features and functions.  In addition to that Google is starting to take further interest in desktop applications that will compete with Microsoft.

google has one too, and both are trying to attract users. Yahoo hopes that this will bring more users to yahoo. Google hopes the same.

Yahoo. Simply because I search for things over and over and have come to expect the order that Yahoo puts things in as opposed to Google. I also like the set-up better, but probably once again just because I use it more.

Yahoo is better than google. Yahoo has Finance,Shopping etc. that people could like yahoo.  Google is fit for searching flats,hotels,job and many other job features.\nYahoo also has games,music,video etc. Which will entertain the people.

The new yahoo maps work great ... if you have broadband, and if you don't have have a firewall or something blocking flash.  It's also a little bit more complicated, so some people prefer the simpler interface of the older Yahoo! maps.  For those who, for whatever, want the older version, there's a simple way back.\n\nGo to http://maps.yahoo.com - it will try to upload the new maps beta.  If you don't have broadband, a message will appear - "Taking too long?" - Click on that link, and it'll take you to the old yahoo maps.  If the issue isn't broadband, but something else, the new maps will load - there will be a link in the upper right hand corner saying "Classic Maps".  That will take you back.

Google.  It made searching a whole lot easier, especially for finding research matter.  Also with Google Maps, travel has become easier.

Google is better, sure Yahoo has some similar services but Google has Google Earth, Google Desktop search, the Google Toolbar (which I find superior to the Yahoo Toolbar), Gmail (superior to Yahoo Mail and it works with Outlook for free), Gtalk (the google IM application) and Picasa among many other services.  Plus Google has just released Google Pack which combines their most popular programs into one installer, check it out at http://pack.google.com/

It is because Google maps are free. So if you want free stuff, you can't just expect them to show EVERYTHING. Maybe the maps have limited space, hence having not to show the capital cities. Also, the capital cities cannot be written on the maps as they might overwrite other names of places on the map or mislead people into thinking that name of the capital city is written over(say a road of building) is the capital city itself and the surrounding places are not the capital city.\n\nAnyway, you can go to Google, pay premium prices for better viewage of the world.

Maybe it was Yahoo maps powered by Google earth.\nYou can find yahoo maps on My Yahoo section, or just go to Google.com and type google earth.
