New “Terrain” mode in Google Maps

Google Maps Terrain modeGoogle Maps has just added a very nice new feature – terrain view.   This isn’t satellite images, but rather it is map-ish terrain views.  It’s very pleasing to the eye.

To make room for this new feature, the “hybrid” button has been removed and you now are given a “Show labels” checkbox when viewing in Satellite mode.

For more information, check out the official post on the Google LatLong blog.
