Check out the "hybrid" choice for google maps. No longer with just satellite and "maps"... so freaking cool. On a related note, when you are zoomed out and can see most of north america, move the map around with the mouse and watch the scale change as you go North... nice. I wonder what they use to figure out the scale, the middle of the map?
As soon as I saw the satellite mode, and tried to navigate around, I immediately thought it would be nice to have the the streets and street names overlayed on the picture. They were probably already working on it at the point. It's nice to see companies coming out with great features like this. I wish mapquest would increase their functionality more. I like their maps a lot better. If only they were as easy to use.
