Yahoo Local - GeoSpatial Searches

Yahoo Local - GeoSpatial Searching

eh?
Results from searches can now be interactively expanded/refined by geographical location.

*Top Tip - You need to use the 'Expand' Map when in 'Shrink' Map Mode



After a search is returned you can expand or shrink the circle


In this case expanding gets you a wider area of results

A Nice Touch! - One over Google Maps there?


UK Users will have to sit and wait, this does not work in Yahoo Local UK. (yet)
