At least, according to Google’s nifty new Google Maps page, that’s the story.
Realistically, I’m quite sure that this is simply because Google Maps doesn’t have the Canadian highway system in their database at the moment. Hopefully that’s only a temporary thing, as that is a search that returns good results in both Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps.
Still, it amused me.
Aside from that and the fact that Google Maps doesn’t work in Safari yet (they do say that they’re working on it), I’ve got to say that I’m very impressed. The maps are prettier than the other systems output, you can drag maps around within the interface (I followed the Glenn Highway out of Anchorage all the way out past Palmer just by dragging along), and from what Joel says, they’re more detailed in some respects than the other systems.
Worth playing with.
