I thought that this Swiss JavaScript/dHTML mapping app was pretty cool.
Now Google has their own beta Google Maps.
I love the details here. Check out the shading that gets placed on the underlying map (from search results).
I hope they also support keyhole style zooming (which map.search.ch has). There is something fun about starting from a high level and zooming into an area ;)
One interesting UI choice is the 'Example Searches' on the right hand side. Where there are two text boxes (with their own 'search' button), I naturally felt like typing in:
[address]
[city, state, zip]
and it took me a second to realize that they are seperate from eachother.
