Google maps just got even better as they have added a feature called Hybrid that combines street maps with sat footage! Check out the new feature on any Google map, like my [Historical Cultural Monuments](http://eecue.com/hcm-index.html) map. I am really tired from a long day of Search and Rescue training. I will write more about it soon. **UPDATE** I have updated to LA from an Auto maps and the HCM maps to use the new hybrid maps. The new type isn't documented yet, but it is pretty obvious: setMapType(G\_HYBRID\_TYPE);
