Google Maps
Google Labs introduced the beta version of Google Maps today and it's beautiful. The interface is amazing. It has keyboard controls! The plus and minus keys zoom in and out. It has three ways to scroll the map: clicking on arrow buttons, pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard, or clicking and dragging the image. Instead of a whole set of dumb text boxes for doing a request, it has one search field in the usual Google app style and intelligently looks at the search you type in. For example, this search: paradise, mi to petaluma, ca.
It doesn't yet work in Safari or Opera, however.
