Google Maps
Google has thrown their hat into the online map ring. It makes a surprisingly good combination, allowing you to type in searches like “malls in Wichita, KS” or “pizzerias near LAX” and get meaningful results.
Some results are still pretty random. I changed one of the links above — which used to be for “gas in ponca city, ok” — when I realized that what it had found was a bunch of oil and natural gas companies. Changing it to “gas stations in ponca city, ok” suddenly “narrowed” the map down to the entire north-central Oklahoma area, which apparently only has ten gas stations to its name. It’s a promising start, however, and I’ll be interested to see where Google takes this.
