In this screen grab provided by Yahoo Maps, the new route from Albany, Calif., to San Jose, Calif., is seen on Wednesday, May 2, 2007. If you asked Google, Yahoo, AOL or other Internet sites to plot a route between San Francisco and Oakland in the hours after an oil tanker exploded last weekend, they suggested that you drive directly over a collapsed overpass engulfed in flames. But within 48 hours, the companies' engineers had reprogrammed the software to advise alternate routes. (AP Photo/Yahoo Maps)AP - Yahoo Inc.'s online mapping service in the United States will begin giving driving directions in 34 European countries Wednesday as part of an upgrade aimed at luring traffic away from rivals AOL and Google Inc.
