In my last job I was asked to evaluate both mapping technologies and decide which one is better for an enterprise application. I evaluated both and the conclusion was that bing maps is more stable, and better for an enterprise application.
At that time bing maps was cheaper than google's. Today it is the more expensive one, but my conclusions were validated when we went ahead with google maps only to get memory leak issues in our code. Google fixed this issue, after several weeks of haggling, but now we have a performance issue...
I am happy I was validated, what is flashy is not necessarily the best choice for the enterprise which demands software with better quality, stability and which has been built using better processes.
Whatever google's advantages are, Microsoft beats them in the enterprise game.
