I recently saw a GIS map that made me say "cool".  A world map which
allowed one to select a city (in a recent Red Hat installer).

What made it cool what that it kept a red line connecting the pointer to
the city nearest the pointer, so you could easily tell which city you
would be selected by clicking.  Of course, in this case it might have
been good enough to just display the name of the city nearest the
pointer, but that wouldn't have made me say "cool".
