Google Maps Hybrid Mode

I already admit that I am a Google junkie. I think the company has yet to really fall flat on their face. I’m a full-out Gmail user, I use the personalized home page as my start page at work, and Google Maps is my favorite map site. They just made the maps even better though with a Hybrid Mode that lays a street grid over the satellite imagery. Go check it out. Via The Map Room

Part of what I do at my job is write a little code. I admit, it’s VB 6 (not even the .NET stuff yet) and it’s probably horribly horribly nasty looking to anyone who actually knows what they’re doing. But it works, it gets the job done and I can fix it if things go awry.

That being said, I thin I know better than this.
