Google Maps

I stumbled across Google's new beta version of their mapping function. I really think it's impressive. The little graphic to the right doesn't quite do them justice. As with any mapping application, you can enter an address. What I like about Google's version is three-fold: 1) the maps are HUGE with nicely intuitive panning and zooming controls; 2) easy to map the closest businesses - the graphic shows the Starbucks that are close to me and 3) the quality of the maps are just really nice regardless of the zoom level chose. They also have driving directions as well. Hurrah, Google!
