Google has debuted their attractive Google Maps beta site and I have to admit it looks really good. The maps are extremely attractive and easier to use than any other map site I’ve seen. What sets GM apart are two things: the maps are interactive meaning you can drag them around with your mouse and zoom in and out at will and; the search functions are really easy to use. You can type in information as detailed as you want such as:
1600 pennsylvania ave, washington, dc
or as broad as you want such as :
good pizza in seattle
Very nice first try for Google on this one. Did I mention the maps look really nice, too?
