[Furyline]

cool. I think the next step for google is to hook up w/ weather.com or something and give real time radar, temp, etc. I would love that!

before this the street names didn't show up on the sat map

I want to see a realtime traffic overlay next.

Wow. I've never fiddled around with that before. That's pretty cool.

Yep, that's a more important addition than "hybrid mode" to me.

 

[vi edit]

Anyone else have troubles switching from back from the hybrid view? If I go to hybrid, and then try and go back to a map view, IE blows up on me.

I love that the major routes are one color, and highways are even a different color. Also all the parks are labeled.

Next it would be great if a user could click on any location on the map, and give you the street address if there is one, and give you that address's directory listing if there is one as well. At this point, it doesn't seem too far fetched.

I'm not experiencing that with either IE or maxthon. Do you have any web filters turned on somewhere?

Excellent, I hadn't noticed that.

 

[Liviathan]

Pretty cool.

 

[gooch]

They have overlapping street names over satellite maps on google earth. They probably just took it from there.
