ZDNet published a
HitWise chart showing market share for the top online mappers. Google Maps (nearly 10 percent) trails Yahoo! maps (41
percent) and MapQuest (33.4 percent). TechDirt
thinks Google should be congratulated for gaining
so much share so quickly, and I suppose that’s true, but I’m a little surprised at the low figure. I was committed to
Google Maps from the first week of its release, not only because of its superior maps, but because of its realistic
estimates of driving time. (MapQuest is absurdly optimistic.) However, my wife doesn’t like Google Maps because it
doesn’t save our address, and that’s a good point. For all of Google’s recent personalization efforts, that is a
glaring and easily corrected omission.
