Google Maps vs. Windows Live (local.live.com)

There has been much discussion regarding the relative usability and available data of these two leading mappign sites.  The general feeling, which I would agree with, is that local.live.com has a better UI and user experience, but it's raw data is often lacking - especially outside of the US. 

However - beware.  Sometime too much details, as returned by Google Maps, could be less than desirable :-)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flsx7ccOCB4&NR=1

especially the quality of the local maps is the biggest issue. From my home town googles resolution is 5 times better
