Yahoo has started to integrate indoor maps
into its newly upgraded mapping product. Even though Yahoo CEO Marissa
Mayer didn’t want to go head to head with Google in “local” (read:
maps), Yahoo has been improving its mapping and local search user experiences of late.
The inclusion of venue maps comes courtesy of Nokia’s Here division.
Yahoo isn’t creating these maps itself; Nokia has been collecting and
mapping venues in different categories for a number of years and now has
coverage in 45 countries, with more than 1,000 venues being added
monthly according to the company.
