Yahoo will launch Yahoo Maps Beta, a new version of the already existing Yahoo Maps, with added features and an improved user interface.

“The driving directions feature has been enhanced with the capability to obtain reverse and round-trip routes, and to highlight route segments on the map by pointing at specific steps in the list of directions.

Yahoo has also made it easier for users to scroll across a map, but supporting drag-and-drop with a mouse, instead of having to click on arrows on the edges of the map”. [source]

The new Yahoo Maps will have features that trace routes to multiple points, zoom in – zoom out feature, reverse routes, round-trip routes, business listings, access to traffic conditions and many more.

There are new applications available for developers on Yahoo Maps.

The new Yahoo Maps comes in three Developer APLs:

Yahoo! Maps Simple APL
Yahoo! Maps Flash APL
Yahoo! Maps AJAX APL
