I saw this email forwarded by Ask this morning:

Yahoo! have released a new map application ( http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/ ) and a whole set of new APIs that I imagine would be of interest to people on this list:

http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/index.html

Highlights include:

Flash APIs for embedding Flash maps in your own pages (or Flash applications)
http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/flash/index.html

An AJAX JavaScript API
http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/ajax/index.html

A REST Geocoding API for addresses in North America
http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html

A Map Image API for direct(ish) access to the underlying tile server
http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/rest/V1/mapImage.html

Disclaimer: I work for Yahoo!, but I’m not on the team that put this together.

Cheers,

Simon Willison
