Links: Google Maps

Wow, another amazing tool from Google - Google Maps. It is still in beta (and a few issues ARE apparent) but it is fast and interactive and has a much better rendering engine than MapQuest and other maps I have used, making the maps so much more readable. Due to a Firefox bug, the route line for driving directions doesn't print, but I'm sure this and other minor things will quickly be fixed. This will almost certainly immediately become my mapping tool of choice.

There is a nice article, written by a user, on the technology and HTML/XML/Map data tricks behind Google Maps.
