Here is the site.
It is an interactive mapping progam of the US and Canada (there is also a European version called AutoRoute). Its pretty cool. You can try it out on the site.

I use it at work well the "busniess" version called MapPoint, and I like it, user friendly, acurate...I have an older version on my home PC, I am happy with it!
