Ask is working hard at attracting new users. But can they compete with habit? That is the real question that I think they need to be looking into. Maps or not….

Ask.com’s Gary Price posts about Ask.com rolling out a new topographical views on Ask Maps. The feature is called “physical” and it shows illustrates the physical features of an area, such as mountains and bodies of water. This is different from satellite imagery, where satellite imagery are real pictures of the land, physical views are illustrations only. You can check out New York’s physical map by clicking here. This feature currently does not work in Safari for Mac and it is only available for level 7 zoom or higher. Source: Search Engine Watch
