Google Maps Gets An Upgrade

Google Maps looks and feels much more like Google Earth now with its new navigation controls with Street View. Simply drag the little yellow man to see the street in a thumbnail view and then drop him to enter into Street Mode. Once in street mode you can turn a dial to move 360 degrees around and also zoom in with ease.

They also fixed some issues users were experiencing with Firefox 3. After a few minutes of use, it seems much more fluid now to use street view. Good job Google!
