New maps unusable
I tried the new maps when you first introduced them, but now you have removed the "use old Yahoo! maps" option. I commented last time & you didn't address the issues.
1) It is not easy to change the location of the map - before if you were in Palo Alto, CA, you could easily switch your location to Daytona Beach, FLA. Now you can't. Best option is to drive to Daytona & recenter afterwards.
2) You can't find businesses as easily as before. Monetizing and e-commerce are usually the driving force in web development. Why make it more difficult.
3) The previous three option (find, driving dir, and locate nears) addressed 98% of my needs before. Why only give me one - drive. Restore these options or I've be looking for a new map site that is is easier to use.
Thank you.

Maps is not working with IE11. While I don't care for the new version of maps, at least I could access it. Since upgrading to IE11 I've lost all functionality. Please don't make me use a competitor, I really like Yahoo.

New maps are useless. If I need to find a location I am using google maps from now on. Yahoo thought they were doing something good, instead they made it worse. I liked the feature that you could go back to the old maps which was user friendly, this is not user friendly. I want a feature that I can just type in where I want to go or an address that I need. But you do not have that choice with the new maps. It sucks.

The "old Yahoo maps" option was much easier to use. I don't always want directions, but just to find a location.

Hi Jeff,
You can search all three using header search box. Example :
Location : Sunnyvale,ca
Business : pizza near 1st avenue sunnyvale,ca ( use near/close term )
Direction : sfo to sjc ( use to or from )
