In lots of places, yes, Google's imagery is a LOT better than Yahoo's,
particularly in cities. But there are also quite a few places where
Yahoo provides traceable imagery in locations where Google doesn't,
mostly outside cities. It's not quite as simple as breadth vs depth but
I'd hope that if we got permission to use Google then we'd provide both,
not just switch over.
