Jef Poskanzer's ACME Mapper provides additional mapping layers and functionality to Google Maps that are not currently available in the standard Google Maps interface (as well as some that are):
- Topo and DOQ mapping layers (from TerraServer's Web Services)
- Map scale that automatically adjusts as you zoom out
- A "crosshairs" widget that shows you exactly where you are centered
- Print, Email, 'Link to this page' functions
- A box showing exact coordinates of the center of the map, in your preferred format
- Nearby placenames from where the map is currently centered
