Stuart's heat map is the closest thing to that. You can click it and see what APODs exist for that area of the map.

I like
Star in a Box, Stuart and friends' interactive H-R diagram as well and
LookUP
This web service looks up the details of astronomical objects by name. Get results as a webpage, XML, JSON or on your iPhone. It makes Simbad, NED, SkyBot etc more usable.
but he has so many other amazing things on his website

Like a template to make your own paper or card model of the Planck satellite
