According to an article on PC World, Yahoo's mapping product is undergoing some improvements. The company is switching from a third-party data provider to an in-house platform that it hopes will prove more accurate, scalable, and user friendly--including better print-outs.

Of note to us, visitors to Yahoo Maps, supposedly starting today, will have access to more detailed renditions of neighborhoods and buildings in New York City and San Francisco.

We called up the pictured map as a sample, but didn't yet notice any change from the few times we've used the service before. Of course, we imagine maps like this are far more useful to and used by people that actually, you know, from time to time (i.e., not us). We do think that little "construction" icon is cool though.

Has anybody that's used this before noticed a difference?
