CNET has a review of a number of online mapping sites, including Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local, Mapquest and Ask Maps 2.0. There is a table that lists features in all five sites that allows for some quick comparisons. In short, according to CNET, Yahoo! Maps comes out on top for ease of use and directions while Windows Live Local makes the most of the interactive nature of the web. There are also links from the table to reviews of individual mapping sites.

Catholicgauze, a blog on geography and related things, is planning a set of reviews on 10 different online mapping sites over the next few days, inspired by our own set of reviews back in October / November of last year.
