It’s being reported on several news outlets and blogs that Google’s search engine now no longer provides links to Yahoo! Maps and to MapQuest as part of their search results.  Users are now only provided with Google Maps as the sole map source when performing a search.  The blog “Google Blogscoped” has screen shots showing the before and after of searching for a location.  Google’s statement on the change is that “The redesign of maps onebox better simplifies the Google user experience when looking for business and address information.”   Also new is the inclusion of a small map image pulled from Google Maps showing the searched location.
