Google Maps Ads Hybrid View

If you haven’t heard yet, Google Maps has added a hybrid view to their mapping service, allowing you to overlay the street names on top of the satellite images.

This is truly useful because you can see individual buildings (even houses) as well as the name of the street they are on.

Perfect for stalking.

Here’s my town of Newburyport, MA.

That feature already existed in Google Earth. Finally they incorporated it. What truly amazes me is the precision of the mapping vs. satellite view. It’s pixel perfect!
