Subject: finding maps on Google

A google.com feature, described at
http://www.google.com/help/features.html#maps, lets you search for street
address maps by typing in the name of an address in the search box. From the
website:

Find Maps with Google

Use Google to find street maps! Just enter a U.S. street address, including
zip code or city/ state (e.g. 165 University Ave Palo Alto CA), into the
Google search box. Often, the street address and city name will be enough.
No more required fields or special punctuation requirements to slow you
down. Let Google do the work!

When Google recognizes your query as a map request, it will return links
from high quality map providers that will lead you directly to the relevant
map. These map providers have been selected solely on the basis of their
quality; if you have a favorite map provider that you'd like to suggest that
we include, please email us at [log in to unmask]

Yahoo Maps and MapBlast seem to be the two providers right now...
