Recently discovered a very useful site which provides very good source of information for searching places, and the map are marked with names.
Those who used Google Earth before would noticed that both uses the same satellite images. But they are different programs and I tend to like the way places are maked and named in Wikimapia. Plus Wikimapia is web based so without installing any program I can access the information just by using my browser to reach the site.
From the Wikimapia faq:
