For those of you using Google Maps, you have got to check out the new version of MS Virtual Earth. Specifically, check out the routing and printing features. There are so many nice little features for printing maps of your route. You can select different sizes of maps, you can select to print only a map of the beginning or end, you can even readjust the map to be printed. When you print the text direction, it has little thumbnails of the turns at each bullet point, and you can select which turns should have thumbnails. It's so amazingly nice that I am down right jealous my company doesn't have anything like this in our products.

Any of these support good topographic maps?

I've never found a good site of free topo maps of North America. The few that I've found when I was looking awhile ago were either very poor low res, or well,... worse.

Sometimes you can find USGS maps around for free, but they are usually very poorly scanned. I've had better luck just buying the National Geographic Topo! maps.
