Yahoo mail google maps

A blast from the past!

Yahoo Mail and Google Maps are two popular services that were once closely tied together. Here's a brief history:

Yahoo Mail: Yahoo Mail was one of the first free web-based email services, launched in 1997. It quickly gained popularity and became one of the most widely used email services in the world. In 2013, Yahoo acquired Tumblr, a microblogging platform, and integrated it with Yahoo Mail.

Google Maps: Google Maps was launched in 2005 as a web-based mapping service. It quickly gained popularity due to its ease of use, accuracy, and innovative features like street view and real-time traffic updates.

Integration: In the early 2000s, Yahoo and Google formed a partnership that allowed Yahoo to use Google Maps as its default mapping service. This integration enabled Yahoo Mail users to access Google Maps directly from their email accounts, making it easy to get directions, find nearby businesses, and more.

Why it ended: In 2014, Yahoo and Google ended their partnership, and Yahoo began using its own mapping service, Yahoo Maps. This change was likely due to Yahoo's desire to reduce its reliance on Google and create its own proprietary mapping technology.

Current status: Today, Yahoo Mail and Google Maps are separate services, and Yahoo no longer uses Google Maps as its default mapping service. Yahoo Mail users can still access Google Maps by searching for directions or businesses in their email search bar, but it's no longer integrated directly into the service.

Despite the end of their partnership, both Yahoo Mail and Google Maps remain popular services, with millions of users worldwide.
