Everyone loves google map. You can instantly find your route or explore your next vacation area, anywhere on earth. Ok yahoo map was first and it is great too. Google pinoneered that AJAX mapping and just made mapping so convenient. You can even find a satellite image of your house when you zoom hard enough.
You may even program your own map (by putting markers, dialog boxes etc) with the Google Map API.
Wow, google has extend the map concept to the vast sky! Awesome pics from the world's most powerful telescopes are there. You can zoom in and out and drag around like google map on earth. Ok, you are not going to get streets of Mars, but it is still quite impressive. There are also infrared/microwave data, and they even wacky middle age drawings (historical).
I am sure Gallieo (who invented telescope to explore space) would be delighted to see this.
