I've played with Terraserver and found it to be a neat toy for sure... Google's map software is probably the best I've found so far. I have to say I'm impressed. As far as directions go, I still like mapsonus since I commute by bicycle and like the ability to avoid major highways.

My favorite part of google maps is this error message:
"We could not calculate driving directions between somerville, ma and honolulu, hi. We currently only support road-based driving directions."

Well, I took a look around, and I'd have to say, I still prefer mappoint.
https://mappoint.msn.com/
At least mappoint gives me more countries than just the one!! All I'm getting is a rough sketch of Canadian info, and absolutely nothing for any other countries.
They do have a feedback area and I'm tempted to tell them that they are missing most of the world!

Google Maps seems to choke my 56k modem connection. But I bet it would rock on broadband. I have Delorme Streets & maps so I really don't need google maps.

The only thing I'm not liking is the ability to avoid Highways... might have to bust out MS Streets and Trips for that

But then again, i'm surprised they have any canadian stuff at all.
