The (MSN) Map Is Not The Territory

Time for a head-to-head competition between the online mapping services. San Francisco's "Central Skyway", an offramp from US101/I-80 to Fell Street, was demolished months ago.

Have the online maps caught up?

MSN Maps (formerly MapBlast) still shows the long-gone skyway (image capture as of right now):

MapQuest does no better:

Yahoo Maps is the winner, with an accurate map:

What's a little odd is that all of these maps claim the same company, Navigation Technologies/NavTech, as their map source. Apparently only Yahoo is aggressively updating their licensed data. Go Yahoo!
