How good are the Yahoo imagery of Kosovo? The big thing about GMM is
that they have better coverage than Yahoo has. People just want maps
they don't care about "free maps", sure they may care about it if they
can be bothered to understand the issues.

What I have seen on GMM  looks suspiciously  like ppl copying
information from copyrighted maps.
