Yahoo Local/Maps uses Flash to approximate Google Maps link to external site

There are a few things it does better like the URL string in the address bar is a direct link to the map and zoom feature is nicer. But the best thing is the local data that is pulled in. It is far superior to the sparse data on restaurants and other local locations on Google. And the developers seem to have a sense of humor about their rivalry as well.
