A great online map for Hong Kong
www.centamap.com shows every building in HK by the name at top zoom level. Just select English first, then enter a street- or building name and you can zoom it in to the building. One of the best onlinemaps I have ever seen.

Indeed. http://www.ypmap.com is pretty good too - and has transportation overlays and all sorts of other stuff.

The two sites mentioned are the classics, but this thread got me wondering about what the hive mind in Internet land thinks about this, so:
http://del.icio.us --> search "hongkong maps" yields some interesting sites, among the usual dross, such as:
Wikimapia
superfuture
MTR Station/Exit maps
along with some sites for iPod Photo compatible maps.

Just noticed that Google Maps has loaded street maps. The system has some kinks to iron out still, such as unable to search by address, the buildings are not identified, and the streets don't overlay perfectly with the aerial images. But it's a start.
