They've done it again. The wizards at Google deliver something super-useful and better than anything else around with Google Maps. I've been trying it and it way trumps the competitors. Use it to zoom in on any location, locate maps at any scale, and plot directions between two addresses. The best thing to do is check it out, but I was particularly impressed with the speed and clarity of the maps, plus informative pop-up info about the location you're searching for (powered by google's directory services). I'll be headed to this service regularly. For those of you who have to give clients directions, it's easy to email maps. Time will tell whether their directions are more reliable than those at Mapquest or other sites that have been around for a while. It worked best for me when using the Firefox browser.
