Yahoo! opens maps to Web publishers

The free Yahoo Maps API http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/ enables developers to create customised maps by overlaying content on Yahoo!’s SmartView Technology.

Developers can create customised maps by overlaying a variety of content onto an existing Yahoo! Map including weather reports, school district boundaries, open houses, garage sales or holiday photos.

 

Yahoo! also provides space on the page for partner branding and links to go back to the referral page. 

 

Yahoo! Maps  API is based on geoRSS, RSS 2.0 and w3c geo extension.

The service follows a similar move by rival Google, which launched Google Maps API, on Wednesday.

Google’s beta service is available free to consumers, but the search firm said it retains the right to put advertising on the map in the future.
