Google Maps Hybrid - Take the Game to the Next Level

There are Google Maps "Plain" and Google Maps Satellite. What happens when you combine them? Google Maps Hybrid! Not bad. Actually, not bad at all.

An Example

See Cleveland downtown:

-On Google Maps "Plain". What is this grey spot in the center of the picture? This is the Browns stadium.

-See how much more things you can see on Google Maps Satellite. Hey, this triangular glass structure is the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame! But there are no signs, you have to guess what is what.

-Check the same area on Google Maps Hybrid. Suddenly everything looks easier to understand.
