Google Maps and Yahoo Maps, side-by-side
I have created a demo showing Google Maps and Yahoo Maps side-by-side (both the AJAX and Flash versions of Yahoo Maps). The maps are linked together, so if you pan/zoom on one the others will pan/zoom at the same time. It's an easy way to compare them by their looks and performance. And if you look at the HTML you can glean some valuable tips on working around each one's quirks.
I got the idea of a side-by-side comparison from Ryan Jonasson's wonderful side-by-side demo of Microsoft Virtual Earth and Google Maps.

Kia Ora (Hello) from a krazy blogger down under in New Zealand. I have only been at blogging for just over 6 months, so I still have a lot to learn. Most of the stuff on your blog is way over my head..........but I'll be back.

Hi Jon,
Nice one! Why not add MSN Virtual Earth instead of 2 Yahoo's?
Best, Zoran

Hi Zoran - I was going to add MS Virtual Earth but unfortunately it doesn't work with XHTML. Ah well.
The reason for the two Yahoos is to help people deciding whether to use the Yahoo AJAX API or the Yahoo Flash API.

Panning in Flash doesn't update the other two. Cool app.
