Google Maps beta

[dsng0403]

Impressive.

http://maps.google.com/

You can use your mouse to drag the maps or just use Keyboard (arrow, Page Up/Down and +,-).

No more mapquest and Yahoo.

Not bad. About the same as mapquest.

maps.yahoo.com baby! mapquest is lame...

I think the google offering blows yahoo and mapquest out of the water.

yahoo map is lame, it points me to the wrong street or even dead end sometimes.

If you like Google Maps try the Google Keyhole thing. It, quite simply, rules.

 

[daclayman]

thx OP

 

[Gilby]

Wow.

 

[alokkola]

Though it is just a beta, it blows the competition away.
I love it!!!!!!!!!

Now the "others" would scramble to bring something in place just as what happened when google released Desktop Toolbar.

Do they have a trial? All I could find was the original owners website and you had to download and install a program to use it.

 

[czech09]

It's pretty nice.

 

[h3nG]

Same here, I'd love to get that puppy running on my computer.

I like the ability to drag the map to move it rather than have to continually reload the map whenever you want to move it.

how can you guys compare yahoo + mapquest to this google map?! the damn thing is almost like a flash picture that u can zoom into and drag around! that kills anything yahoo and mapquest have right now. they are all just a bunch of made up pictures, this is totally interactive! Once again, google has done it. everything they do raises the bar! rock on google!

 

[farscapesg1]

It does look nice, but at least maps.yahoo and mapquest can see my address. Heck, google is missing my entire subdivision (and the one next to it).

At this point, it is useless for directions if it can't find all the address information 🙁

 

[kewldude911]

it totally rocks......thanks.
