Map Attack

Following reports in Wired News this morning that the new Virtual Earth from MSN shows Apple Headquarters as an empty lot I decided to have a look for myself ...



Sure enough. Microsoft have now fully decided to ignore completely the Cupertino crowd. They blame old maps. No excuse.


The same view from Google Maps showing the 11 buildings in the oval that make up the Apple Campus.



What is more interesting though is the way the two mapping rivals treat each other. Google is confused about itself .. Somehow it thinks it is Keyhole and is based in an empty lot beside a freeway.



MSN does depict the location ... Surprise, surprise. I guess Apple are just hacking off MS more in their games of endless catch-up with both companies.
