Not available from every country (at the time of writing this).

I feel so left out.

EDIT: I was wrong, just that it is not available in Safari. Works with Chrome.

That's cool, but I wish they had spent the time making Google Maps usable again.

this makes it usable again: https://maps.google.com/maps?dg=optperm&output=classic

until they kill it off entirely :\

there is no version of the GL-enabled maps that ever ran faster or better for me than the basic tiled original.

I can't stand how the whole UI jumps around, rearranges and resizes itself every time I try to do something. Seriously, buttons should stay put.
