A Yahoo Maps Sighting
Yahoo Maps doesn’t get much press of late (and a recent Search Engine Land article suggests it won’t get much more…unless it takes action). Still, it does pop up in odd places like a notification for parents to determine if their children (in Newburyport, MA) are eligible to take the bus to school for free.
Students entering sixth grade and younger and living outside a 2-mile distance as measured by Yahoo maps, are eligible for mandated free transportation.
I’m sure there’s a good reason that Yahoo Maps was selected for this task; I’m curious what it was.
