Google become very huge Giant on thew web and can eat anything, We wonder to think that may be after 10 years Gogle would be 1 website that has a complete range of services for the whole World :)

I m surprised this has taken so long, given what, in my opinion, is Google’s far superior interface. I wonder how much of this traffic is direct to each site vs. traffic coming from maps being embedded in partner sites. I would guess that the many sites that had embedded MQ into thiers, e.g. retailers building it into their store finders, have been slow to covert to Google and this has slowed Google’s march to mapping dominance.

Virtual Earth plays in the enterprise mapping space and has taken some of those deals from MapQuest.

look forward to the comScore info. Compete also shows Google as having moved ahead. But I think to really understand the total visitor numbers you need to analyze market share by region…unfortunately I haven t seen direct numbers that do that. It is my sense is that Mapquest has a stronger presence in North America and that many of Google’s gains have been elsewhere.

I certainly hope so Google deserve it. Google Maps and the way it moves between satellite view, hybrid, photographs and wikipedia is fantastic.I also like the way Panaramio pics are pulled in - I like to contribute a few pics a month if I see something I think will be interesting or of use to others.It is one of those things that I literally need in my life

Gmaps is certainly a fantastic tool. I’m thinking about going to Searchfest 09 in Portland next month and was just using the distance calculator to plan the drive (with a pitstop in Seattle), checking on other hotels besides the one sponsoring the conference (checking their locations before I visit their website for rates), using the public transit system to get to conference center at Oregon Zoo from hotel(s), etc…
