And why?
Which is better for developers, Google Maps or Live Search Maps?
I would prefer Google Maps API over Windows Live Map API. Both have similar APIs.
Google Maps - pros: Has lot more features, has a large development community via google groups, easy to get any help, many useful open source libraries are being created (like dragzoom, egeoxml..), supports both georss and kml standards. Has Street view
Windows Live Maps - pros: Does not require any API key to integrate on any website, unlike google and yahoo maps which require you to get API key for every website you put the map on (not a big issue though). Has high quality birds eye view images available.
Reply:Google Maps is faster for users and simple to integrate.
Live Search Maps can be sluggish for some people and may be a bit more difficult to integrate. Both have very user-friendly interfaces, but Live Search Maps offers higher quality satellite images.
