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...
