It seems that the Google Maps team has snuck another feature to it's map interface, adding the "hybrid" map viewing option to the already present map and satellite views. The hybrid feature gives you a bit of the street maps view overlaid on top of the satellite map. Things like streets, highways, city names and state/province boundaries appear to be visible. Take a look!
(Thanks to Ted Timmons for this tip-off!)

Way cool. Makes looking at the maps funner. Thanks
This also seems to have changed the projection. The satellite views were badly skewed before due to the projection they used, which caused a notable offset between the maps and the satellite imagery and looked just... well... wrong. Seems to me this is no longer the case, maps and images now match up nicely and the satellite view is correct (rectangles are rectangles, right angles are right angles, etc.). Also apparent in the full earth view when you zoom out completedly (stretched northern and southern latitudes).
