That it's all done in DHTML.
That it seems to render very smoothly - on a broadband connection.
That I could ring my wife up and say, "here's a map showing how to get 
from Boston to Burnham, ME", where she grew up. She knows how, of course!
That the little pop-up windows you get when clicking on the link next to 
  the text for a specific part of a "direction" have drop-shadows to the 
main map :)

Ok, so as someone said, "very useful if you've got a computer in the 
car!" I'm not sure how and where I'd use the map, but as an example of 
something that looks good, seems very easy to use, and presents a 
mind-boggling amount of information, I'm impressed.
