Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps - Which One The Most Update? 6:12 PM

After read article about development GIS on wikipedia, I've tried to use some open layer site called SAAS like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Virtual Earth, Yahoo! Maps, and World Wind servers. SaaS (Software as a Service) sometimes referred to as "on-demand software", is a software delivery model in which software and associated data are centrally hosted on the cloud. SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser.

And I've just tried Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps and found some differences among both. In this case I choosed my hometown Singosari, Malang City to compare. This is the result for sightseeing.

Many disciplines can benefit from GIS technology. An active GIS market has resulted in lower costs and continual improvements in the hardware and software components of GIS. These developments will, in turn, result in a much wider use of the technology throughout science, government, business, and industry, with applications including real estate, public health, crime mapping, national defense, sustainable development, natural resources, landscape architecture, archaeology, regional and community planning, transportation and logistics.
