Amazon.com Yellow Pages
I haven't quite figured how yet, but I think the step that Amazon took to get photographs of locations listed in its Yellow Pages will be revolutionary for location-based services.
One thing that would be interesting (if not revolutionary) would be if the Amazon images could be added to Mapquest so that each time you had to make a turn, the Mapquest map contained an image of the intersection (or other feature) in question so that you knew what to look at.
Anyway, it's definitely worth checking out.
Thanks Ben!
