last Friday, Google introduced Google Maps Hybrid which is "Google Maps Transparancies" on steroids. Just point your web browser to

http://maps.google.com/

search for something, and then in the upper right corner of the map click on the "Hybrid" button. Google Maps will show you a satellite image with street names and points of interests laid on top of that image. For example, if you go to

you'll see Tower Bridge--and the surrounding street names--in London. And, yes, like all Google maps this map is draggable.

Google Maps is still in beta, so some of the hybrid maps are still a little off [like Tower Bridge Road or streets north of Ground Zero at http://tinyurl.com/7banf .] Still, the Hybrid maps feature is an amazing addition to a tool that is already amazing.
