Google Maps: Bye Bye MapQuest!
Sorry, MapQuest, your lunch has just been eaten by Google. Check out the pretty drop shadows and fancy drag-scrolling.
It doesn’t allow zooming to a specific location nor does it link directly to the Terra Server for satellite views, but they could have that done by dinnertime if they thought about it.
Update: Joel Webber has a great look under the covers at how this works.
