Google Maps

It's still in rough BETA, but Google Maps is out there for the public's eyes. The live scrolling and zooming is excellent, however every address I put in was inaccurate to a degree in regards to where the pinpoint aimed. The directions it gave me also were never the shortest route and sometimes gave odd detours that made no sense. It's BETA, so that's to be expected, but I can't wait until the technology acquired from their recent purchase of Keyhole Corp., a 3D mapping service, gets integrated.
