Amazing! Google maps is easy in use and with this new photo-realistic 3-D maps we get more fun with goooooogle. But I hope that the time in loading the maps is not going higher and higher. And the performance of the browser ist not getting worse. Google is getting better and better. Amazing!

Perhaps by the standard of owning the consumer market eyeballs, yes. But Google's success with Maps has in a sense driven mapping back to the stone age. Mapping companies such as ESRI have been producing much more powerful (but less accessible) applications for decades. The best example of this is how disparate data sets, available through mashups, are only available from different websites, isolated from one another. If I want to compare, say, beer stores and subway stations, I can't do so directly, if these data sources are provided by different mashups. I think this isn't really Google's fault. They didn't anticipate the surge of mashups, and weren't prepared for the onslaught. What we really need, though, is for Google or Microsoft to make the big leap and allow us to seamlessly and effortlessly combine arbitrary data from arbitrary sources in a single map. it’s interesting that you describe Google as being the market leader in mapping.
