Google Maps

I always have my eye out for the latest tech ideas and toys, and most of my posts tend to revolve around what I find cool. I know it's definitely not cool to non-techies who visit this blog, like Ashley, and for that I'm sorry. But this is another one...

I'm really impressed with Google's latest offering, Google Maps. It's similar to the other map sites that you typically use like MapQuest and Yahoo Maps, but it has a nice Google twist. The interface is simple, intuitive, and responsive. Very impressive.

Here's a screenshot from Google Maps of the route from 30306 to 30342 (basically my route to work)
