Actually I just did the experiment, and it listed two Starbucks while totally ignoring five non-chain shops that come quickly to mind (out of dozens in the area). And there's no way for me to tell Yahoo about any of them, correcting their major omission. Another nit: Yahoo maps always assume that I want to drive, buy gasoline, pollute, and park ... rather than use Caltrain, Muni, BART, or any of the other more globally cost-effective transport systems. Can we get a bit less of the cross-subsidies? - Dave
