From the "It's About Time" Department: Yahoo Maps SmartView
Here's an idea that's so obviously brilliant that it's hard to believe something like this didn't exist before. On Yahoo's home page today, there's a colorful ad for Yahoo Maps SmartView.
Normally I don't pay much mind to these types of things, but I gotta admit, they got me with that "SmartView" label. It sounded so... smart and so... different. And guess what? It is very different from your father's online mapping service.
In a nutshell, this is seemingly new technology that not only shows you a map, but also points of interest nearby, like where to find Indian food, a wi-fi hot spot, a workout gym, etc. I don't know how they do it, but it sure is cool. And it gives you a new way to find stuff using online maps other than the old way of searching on keywords and viewing lists Yellow Pages style.
