Google has launched a pretty good map site (maps.google.com natch)
Your browser is not supported by Google Maps just yet. We currently support the following browsers: • IE 5.5+ (download: Windows) • Firefox 0.8+ (download: Windows Mac Linux) • Netscape 7.1+ (download: Windows Mac Linux) • Mozilla 1.4+ (download: Windows Mac Linux)We are working on supporting Safari. Regardless of your browser type, you must have JavaScript enabled to use Google Maps.
We recommend you download one of the browsers above, or you can try to load Google Maps in your current browser.
but it seems to almost work in Safari already, so who knows how long it will take.

Google Maps offers maps, driving directions and the ability to search for local businesses, but currently only for some of the Americas. The search giant appears to be working with TeleAtlas for the mapping products. ...
The service offers a few tweaks to standard mapping products. Someone using the service can click and drag the maps, instead of having to click and reload, for example, and magnified views of specific spots pop up in bubbles. The new map service supports Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers. It covers the United States, Puerto Rico and parts of Canada.
For instance, from Austin to Chicago (my first address anyway)
