Yahoo said Wednesday that has it stopped using AOL Time Warner online street finder unit MapQuest, and has instead created its own mapping service.

Yahoo's service, which continues to look and operate like the one powered by MapQuest, is built on software provided by Navigation Technologies, GDT Incorporated, and software application providers Telcontar and Sagent.

A Yahoo representative said the decision was not based on competitive factors with AOL Time Warner. Instead, Yahoo wanted more control over the way online maps are incorporated into its Web services. --Jim Hu, Special to ZDNet News
