How Accurate are Online Street Maps?

I've written a fair amount on the differences between NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas recently, so I thought it only fair to take a look at the various online mapping tools and compare their accuracy. I stumbled across this interesting article that looks at Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, MSN Maps, Map24, Rand McNally, and, of course, MapQuest.

What's most interesting is that even when 2 online services use the same mapping data, they may not render the map the same way. Read the article HERE
