Maps

DeLorme map site. Mapping, GPS, and GIS Technologies. Publisher of street atlases, paper atlases & wall maps. Street Atlas software.  Mapping & GIS Glossary
http://www.delorme.com

Expedia.com - Find a Map: Find detailed maps of North America and Europe, or see the world with topographic maps of places around the globe. Get Driving Directions: Get accurate directions throughout North America and Europe.
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=over

Google Maps - Originally a nice clean map site. Now it's getting a little crowded. I would like to see more map and less junk. Has standard features plus Hybrid & Satellite view. Update: Looks like it's cleaned up a bit and added a cool feature "Traffic View." Here you can get an assessment of live traffic, or you can choose traffic predictions for an address at any date and time (shows the nearest main street for a residential address).
http://maps.google.com

MSN Maps & Directions  - Nice setup, easy to use. Choose map or directions all from the same place. It's best feature is the 3 map size choices. We really like the full-size map that fills the entire screen. As for the actual map, it's lacking -- a bit too "wispy." It's especially difficult to read the street names. Squiggly. Update: still a horrible map.
http://www.mapblast.com

Mapquest - A little confusing when you first arrive. Find a Business -- but I'm not looking for a business... Oh, I get it...it's a nice option once it hits you. For directions, it has a separate tab that opens to become part of the map tab. Best feature: it produces a nice BIG map with easy-to-read street names, bold streets, good markings. We think this is the best map out of the bunch. Just wish we could "click off" that scroll thingie on the right. Update: Looks like they agreed with us -- check out the New Mapquest!
http://www.mapquest.com

Maps On Us - If your screen resolution is 640 x 800, you are out of luck on this one because you can't get to the "Find It" button after you enter the information. They have not provided a horizontal scroll bar. Otherwise the map is good quality, and the functions are pretty much the standard. Update: No update, no changes. Still useless at 800 res. And it takes a little thought to figure out where to type in an address if you just want a map and not directions.
www.mapsonus.com

Yahoo Maps - The map is easy to read but way too small. Choose "Print" to see a large version. Then you can drag it around from there, and zoom in & out. Has standard features plus hybrid & satellite view. Traffic report button. Update: No changes. Still too small.
