I've been predicting it for over a year now... and today Google finally has released (at least in beta form) Google Maps. It's a pretty awesome implementation too. It uses vector graphics for one... but a really neat thing is you can drag the map around to where ever you want rather than "click to center" like other systems.

It's tied into Google local, so you can do cool queries like hotels near balboa park in san diego and the map shows them (with the info you would want).

Now, hopefully the rest of my predictions will come true with it. The ability to overlay the maps on satellite imaging (which seems like it might happen since Google acquired Keyhole last year. My other prediction was traffic data overlaid on the maps (Yahoo seems to have been listening to my wishes because they recently added it to Yahoo Maps).
