Good maps at last

Halleluyah! Finally someone has come out with a good map service on the web and its from those goofy Google guys. Having just done an address lookup on Google I noticed they were now offering Google Maps as well as Yahoo and MapQuest. And when I clicked on Google Maps it took me to a very nicely presented map with a 3D label over the map indicating my search address. Then I found I could smoothly pan around the map in pretty much realtime. Even better I could drag the map around with the mouse and quickly zoom in and out (a bit slower). This isn't close to the amazing Keyhole aerial photo based service (also recently acquired by Google) but its pretty darned good and definitely wins my vote for best online maps. Combined with Google's local search capabilities it looks like it'll be a winner.
