I would have expected this-

I see it now. Jidanni (talk) 15:50, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

there is no information of mapquest included in this article, so not really helpfull and btw. the table is not really read-friendly —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.34.56 (talk) 23:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about adding information about Yandex maps? They are rather popular in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan. If it is interesting for many people I can post information on this matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Artem.kolotilkin (talk • contribs) 07:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the Map projection of each service to the table would be a nice to have. Great overview!

It's not clear to me why the services are ordered in the comparison table the way they are. It's not alphabetical and it's not by popularity. Could someone reorder them?

Hitwise^[1] ranks them thus: Google Maps, MapQuest, Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps.

Wouldn't it make sense to add offline capability/feature to the comparison tables? Misuo (talk) 11:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google - Current wiki version claims "1–3 years old". In my area, EGNL, it's over 10 year old, and elsewhere, much older. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.82.189 (talk) 22:42, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would be nice if this comparison included how many times you can edit a route when getting directions, either through adding destinations or "dragging" the route line as can be done on most of these services.

So...number of destinations per route and number of edit points on a route would be welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.3.8.253 (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should Apple Maps be in the table? It doesn't actually have a web interface – only custom applications to access the map from, so it's not really that much of a web map service. Jc86035 (talk • contributions) 11:32, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apple MapKitJS is now available for websites https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs rverrips 07:55, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo was shutting down its Maps site by the end of June 2015^[1]. So Yahoo Maps should be no longer in the table. I have removed the service from the comparison. 87.153.217.166 (talk • contributions) 09:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:5F:2D04:D33:A479:C23B:84F1:D7FF (talk) [reply]

Many of these map services do not work when viewed on websites in China. Would be nice to know which ones. 08:55, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I suggest adding waze to the list as they also have a map of the world, independent of the other services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirKitKat (talk • contribs) 12:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The table states that Mapquest offers Bicycle Routing. I cannot find any trace of that feature on the Mapquest web site. Can someone more knowledgable look into this, please. Voschix (talk) 17:02, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proof:

• per OSM wiki
• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Mapycz
  • direct changes to the OSM database by Petr Fukátko

Because of this it is misleading to grant mapy.cz its own column and I would suggest to remove the entry.-- Pension Pennerglück (talk) 13:39, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Mapy.cz needs to be merged with OSM. Venudxb (talk) 06:17, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A "Comparison of web map services" wouldn't be complete without mentioning Map Compare. Jidanni (talk) 15:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
