Fred, The only difference I have noticed is that before the (aham) 'improvements' there was only a single sidebar entry for google maps and now there's a new one everytim I navigate or zoom in and out. Just like the new version. Rich One could switch to either Yahoo or Mapquest, both of which do have satellite view, but neither of which have street view ... otherwise, nice maps, it seems.
