New Flex Powered Yahoo! Maps

The bigger picture emerges.. Ya-Mac-Hoo-roMedia Inc. Now the Yahoo toolbar download with Flash Player makes more sense... ;-)

Ben, very fast response, very lumber enabled...

I agree with Chuck. While it has more functionality and better tools than Google Maps, its not as smooth. It just seem a bit clunky. That seems (IMO) to be the Achilles Heel of Flash. Hope 8/8.5 can help. As of now, I'm still partial to Google Maps.

Nice, but not quite as smooth or fast as Google maps - can Flex provide the same quality?

I was wondering if that was Flex or not. Very nice work. It'll be even better in a couple years once they can safely deploy for 8/8.5. Not good news for Ajax. I'm sure it was considered at one point, I'd have liked to been listening in on that, especially in terms of development time.

Any idea when they will be getting UK data?

1.5, usable in Flash Player 7 and up.

is it flex 1.5 or 2 ?

This is GREAT. Finally a place to point people to who ask "What's Flex?". Macrodobe needs to pimp out some money for a nice Flex ad banner on that page :)

nice!
