Finally a good online mapping experience, at least at first blush. Thanks to Karl Long for bringing this to our collective attention.
Okay, what is Google doing right here? Many types of specific search options visible on the right-hand panel. But you can just put in an address and a city in the top search bar as well. Fairly predictable and controllable zoom in and zoom out. And found my address -- accurately -- on the first try.
We are still a ways from having the web respond to how humans think and categorize information, however. For example, a couple of people have recommended to me a small computer store near a specific intersection, but they can't remember the name of the store. But we are definitely closer.
It almost makes you want to set your skepticism aside!
