A month after their previous data update, Yahoo! Maps announced their biggest imagery update since the program inception (via TMR). From the announcement: "While we’ve steadily added new cities around the world every month (over 500 now) since the beginning, we haven’t made as much of a change in the US until today. Our latest release improves both breadth and depth. Going wide, we’ve made big improvements in our wall-to-wall coverage of the United States, improving our back-drop data for a number of complete states, including California, Oregon, New York, the Carolina’s, and numerous other states in the west and midwest." Mapperz also informs us Yahoo Go! 3 Maps in beta has also been updated.
