This week Adena Schutzberg and Joe Francica take a spin on the major and not-so-major web mapping portals to see how the new features from Google, Microsoft and others take the user experience to the next level. The editors look at how technology is allowing more interaction with users than ever before. The podcast is 14 minutes long (~ 5 Mb) and was recorded on July 9, 2007.
