multimap's new interface
At last Multimap has joined the fray against Google Maps' wonderful interface.
Unsurprisingly it has most of the same features (map / satellite / hybrid views, draggable map area, arrows and slider to move around), just positioned differently and styled in a very web 2.0-ish gradient-and-shadow- way.
They don't have the scroll-too-zoom feature which I love on Google Maps, and their images seem lower quality (when you zoom in they seem more pixellated than Google Maps, before the redraw), but the payoff is that the map images load lightning fast and seem more responsive.
I have yet to try to integrate it with a website, but it would be interesting to compare, especially since Google have apparently recently made mashing up their maps easier.
What about poor old streetmap? get with the program....
