It is official: Google does everything well. Their latest venture is Google Maps (maps.google.com), and it is awesome.
As of right now, it is for Firefox and IE only… no Safari or Opera support yet. I spent 30 seconds with it, and I knew it was good. You can grab the map and move it around, revealing new areas. You could “travel” from New York to L.A. doing this, if you wanted. You can find where your house would be… zoom back up to a view of the United States, and then click the “zoom in” button like mad, and get a badass descent into your neighborhood seemingly from low earth orbit.
I highly recommend that you give it a try.
