Googlemapshttp://maps.google.com.  I'm most impressed by the speed of the thing.  Results are almost instantaneously returned.  For example, try looking for where I work I said speed, dear readers, not accuracy.  Note the search was for "500" and the result returned was "901".  I've had similar experiences searching for other addresses.  As usual, the Google interface is quite nice, though.  Very simple and uncluttered.  From the map above, you can easily get to directions to/from the address and the results are nicely laid out.  It seems, for now anyway, that directions aren't sponsored.  I wonder what the plan is for this service from a revenue perspective?  My suggestion:  Sponsored directions could yield results for McDonald's along the way or coupons for $1.00 off gas at Sherril's Eat Here And Get Gas if you happen to be going through Tipton, IN.  Yes, folks, it's an honest-to-goodness gas station/diner.  The food is quite good there, actually!
