What's the best interactive map site for Guatemala?

Let's compare each major online map of Guatemala site to find out.

Online map sites such as Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps, and many others are widely available, and many travelers accustomed to using these online services in modernized locales such as North America or Europe assume that these same services will be available to help them during their travels.

This is not always the case.

Though most online mapping services are adequate for major urban areas in Guatemala , coverage is lacking for the most part when it comes to rural and out of the way areas. Some collaborative mapping software, such as Google MapMaker, is beneficial in these cases due to the growing participation of Guatemalans in mapping less-known towns.
