There have been a few website and desktop apps I've found since late last year... Normally, most programs I try out are really bad or useless. In this case though, every single app I've found recently has turned out to be just amazing and extremely useful to me... Funny thing is ALL of them were built and/or provided by Google. Love those guys (not that there's anything wrong with that Damn, sure wish I could have afforded some stock at the IPO...

Google Desktop Search (software)
Google Toolbar (software)
Picasa Photo Organizer (software)
- all from http://www.google.com/downloads/

Google Local (yellow/white pages phone search)
- http://local.google.com/

actually, if you double click on a point, it centers you, click on the red baloon and you go back to center on your original address.

that google continues to impress... I'd better buy some shares!

Its not a straight URL query so how did you link?

Edit: I just figured it out and i was wrong, it is a basic query but flexible. pass it a zip or city, it doesn't seem to care.
