Der er sket en del på markedet hvad angår kortdata. Nokia købte Navteq, Google køber nu kun ind hos TeleAtlas, ESRI og Microsoft enes om at distribuere fælles data osv osv. Næste led i fødekæden er udviklere af applikationer som sidder ovenpå disse basis platforme. UHaul er en blandt mange som åbenbart har set det fordelagtigt at skifte fra en leverandør (MapQuest) til en anden (Microsoft).

A lot has happened on the 'market' lately. Nokia bought Navteq, Google now only do business with TeleAtlas, ESRI and Microsoft makes a commen map data distribution deal and so on. Next in line are the application developers sitting on top of these platforms. UHaul is one among many who have found it 'the right time' to switch from one vendor (MapQuest) to another (Microsoft).

U-Haul just made the move from MapQuest to Virtual Earth. Actually, U-Haul has been a long-standing MapPoint Web Service customer for several applications and they've decided to move over their Location Finder over to Virtual Earth - sweet. Hey, where do you think that whole "Mom's Attic" name comes from for that area over the driver's cabin? Either way, it makes for some great jokes of where the mother-in-law sits during the move.
