I use DeLorme's Street Atlas USA, which is not a website but is pretty 
decent software, and the huge advantage (to me at least) of using it is 
that it's compatible (*) with a pair of programs called TVFMSTNS and 
AMSTNS, which are viewers for the FCC database and can automatically dump 
data right into Street Atlas for my easy perusal.

www.fccinfo.com will plot CDBS data against USGS topo maps, which is 
sometimes useful and sometimes not.

(*) The newer versions of Street Atlas - anything past 9.0 - apparently are 
not compatible with these programs. I still use 9.0.
