I have just came across
   http://www.mapplanet.com
while looking for details on Thorney Island (UK). The map applet
provided latitude and longitude information and
temperature(°C)/conditions. Also, the right mouse button allows one to
drag a line to measure distances in kilometers. Nice!

As an example, click on "Start applet", then select "alphabetical
listing" to select a site. Even on US sites, the distances read out in
kilometers. It's not exactly a vector-graphic, topological mapping
system, however. It's rather more schematic.
