1 Mapserver
This site can be searched by United States city or place name, zip code, and latitude/longitude. In addition to a topographic map, nautical chart, and aeronautical chart, you get a satellite photo that can be zoomed in to include only a few city blocks. The indication of latitude and longitude changes as you move the cursor over the photo, maps, and charts, all of which can be printed or e-mailed. http://mapserver.maptech.com/homepage/ 
2 Maporama
Accessible in twenty-six different languages, Maporama provides street-level directional maps for fifteen European nations, all of the USA, and most of Canada. Personal and business directories for a limited number of European countries are also available. Maps are available in normal, high definition, and interactive formats that include weather, local time, and longitude and latitude of locations. http://www.maporama.com/share/

2.5 http://www.maps.google.com/
One of the "graduates" of Google Labs.  Great for heavily populated locations, especially U.S. and Western Europe.  It features the following:
  • Draggable maps - Click and drag maps to view adjacent sections immediately (no long waits for new areas to download).
  • Satellite imagery - View an aerial image of your desired location that you can zoom and pan.
  • Integrated search results - Find business locations and contact information all in one location. For example, if you search for [pizza in San Jose], locations of relevant listings appear on your map, and their phone numbers appear alongside.
  • Detailed directions - Enter an address and let Google Maps plot the location and/or driving directions for you. Click any part of the driving directions to see a magnified map or satellite image of that part of the route.
  • Keyboard shortcuts - Pan left, right, up and down with the arrow keys. Pan wider with the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End keys. Zoom in and out with the plus (+) key and minus (-) keys. http://maps.google.com
