Ever had the experience of ending up on the opposite side to the street of your destination following directions from Yahoo!, Google or your GPS? Now you can do something about it. Yahoo Maps, Google Maps, MapQuest and even GPS navigators like Tom Tom and Garmin get their data from Tele Atlas and NAVTEQ .
