This weekend, I noticed a new feature on Google Maps-Terrain! While this is not at all earthshaking, it is just one more little improvement my favorite Search Engine has made to make their product better.

Imagine being able to choose a street view, a traditional map view, a satellite view and a terrain view with contour lines all from one place? Well, now we can toggle back and forth between all these views within Google Maps to put things into better context and perspective to make more sense of them. In fact, in some places, you can see yet another view - Traffic.
