More Maps

I’ve mentioned my addiction to Google Maps before.  Recently, they’ve added 2 new features that are pretty neat.

First, in major downtown cities (for example San Francisco and Los Angeles), they’ve added 3D outlines of the buildings in the area.  It’s really quite neat, and offers a great way to orient yourself with landmarks when the satellite view offers sometimes too much info.

Second is the Terrain view.  I’ve wanted a topographical map for a while, and this one looks pretty sharp.

Love it!
