Well you guys have to remember it is in Beta. I think we can be assured that Google will be improving / adding to it in the coming months.

Maybe add some pictures from keyhole inc.

It needs to be global and marine charts would be nice too!

Cheers!

And topos with geo feature names would be cool.

This is awesome

The map is awesome. But it seems like only some parts of my city (Houston, TX) are current. My girlfriend's house, and indeed her entire subdivision, built about a year ago, is not on the map. The parks near my house are misnamed, and a big park built within the last seven years is completely missing.

However, the Westpark Tollway, which opened for traffic last year is fully represented.

Oh well, it's still cool. Can you use an intersection instead of an address to get a map or directions?

The NavTeq version is out of date that's loaded in the beta.

That will be fixed soon.

Cheers!

Their popup dialogs are cool.

My neighborhood is almost three years old and it isn't included.

 

[MrCodeDude]

Fantastic.

Goodbye Yahoo! maps.

 

[DrPizza]

three thumbs up for me!

Only problem I can see is there's no way to resize the window.... stuck with one size.

 

[Yossarian]

it would be cool if you could click on intersections and build your own route.

I'm just thrilled with dragging the map around... out in the country, the roads wind around so much that it's nearly impossible to follow them on the alternatives.
