Google does it again

Brilliant, as usual. Looks like it's going to be an awesome interface. This is still the beta version. I notice there's not zoom yet (they say it will just be a slider bar in the window). But just the ability to drag the map around is fantastic enough! And the directions are cool, click on a step and it pops up a little magnified window of the turn/onramp/interchange. Take that Mapquest!

Zoom is zoom-zoom-zooma-zooming for me. Unfortunately, you zoom too far in, and you lose context. But cool, nonetheless.

Yeah, that's pretty nice. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, no fair. I don't have the zoom bar :( And when I search for a location, it doesn't show the little red pointy tag thing. Oh well, I discovered that the + and - keyboard shortucts work for zooming.

Interesting, I have the zoom bar as well. Maybe it is browser-specific. I'm on IE right now.

What a wonderful map tool!

I use Map Blast right now, but this program is wonderful!

Thank you GD!

I'm on IE too, a more recent version than you probably even have access to. Odd.

The zoom works just fine for me. Very cool!

Sigh.

Awesome.

Wow!

The company I work for makes map-based demographic software. We can appreciate the technology behind this kind of system. I just showed that to a couple cow-orkers and we were all flabbergasted at both the speed and quality of the mapping.

Good bye MapQuest.
