Google Maps

Once again! Google is on top! Last night I got to mess around with Google Maps Beta.

I think their interface is superior, all you have to do is search for anything you want on the map, and you'll pretty much get it. Looks like for now it only works with anything related to the United States. What I thought was the coolest part is that you can now search for a kind of store in your area like with the following string... "Pizza in Santa Clara, CA" This is similar to Google Local, but on heavily sedated drugs! Check out the search results below.
Or search for just the location of a street in a city. By typing "Town and Country Lane Santa Clara, CA" you the result.....
This is very very powerful, but very much oriented like all of Google's search based tools. It makes sense, and from my view point they've once again raised the bar!
