Seriously! I spent way too much time playing with Map 24 today. I was checking out my drive home, I was looking up people’s addresses, just typing in random places… Why the hell was this fun? Map 24′s interface is the key: when you change your route or the address you are searching for on the left, the map applet zooms in and out and all around showing you want you want. Its really very cool, I wish I would have thought it up (and if I did, I wish I knew how to implement it).

This is doubly exciting becuase my old favorite map site, Mapblast, steered me in the wrong direction and made me horribly lost on the way to an interview a couple of weeks back. It kind of figures that is beging to suck since Microsoft bought them a year or so ago. But it doesn’t matter now, becuase I dumped them for they cooler, prettier cousin.

Why haven’t I heard of Map 24 yet? It turns out that they even won a Webby last year!

Bored? Check it out.
