Sort of. But hey, hick is a strong word.


Also, your avatar is the first avatar I've seen with glasses on! Cool. ^_^
Reply:As someone else has noted, it's not Yahoo! maps that the issue - if you go to http://maps.yahoo.com/beta , it jumps to major international cities you expect right away - and many minor ones. While it should be fixed, not a whole lot of people go to the cities via the search box. Report It

Reply:Yahoo is an AMERICAN company. Are they supposed to start out with a map of Africa? Does this make any sense? Maybe there is no market for other countries, or maybe they did not get to them yet.





If you check Yahoo maps Beta, their new and improved map, you will find most other countries have all of their information.





Do a little research before you criticize, you look like a fool.
