If you want to have a good look around the stadiums built for the Beijing Olympics 2008 you should visit EarthSwoop's Beijing Olympics collection of 3d buildings. EarthSwoop use the Google Earth Browser plug-in to show 3d buildings built for Google Earth.
I also received an e-mail today from noicon.biz to say that Google Maps in Japan has been updated to show the names of some houses and commercial locations. You can see this change in the screen-shot below where some buildings seem to have been tagged with little red dots.

The Google Maps for Beijing is great except for one glaring bug. There is an inconsistency between the sat view and street view - they do not match up! Hopefully google will fix this soon since it will lead to all sorts of geotagging woes.
Well spotted. I hadn't noticed that. There is quite a mismatch between the satellite and map views.
