Fuck Google Maps, Google Maps sucks!

All I want is to get a general street map image of FFX that I can click over in order to get a general idea of where I'm going. I used to be able to just type in "Fairfax, VA", and the general street map came up on Google and I could click away and find where I needed to go. But now, Google Maps goes straight to Satelite view, which is so much to load that the site just freezes and becomes completely useless. Now I have to resort to Bing. Screw you, Google.

Get into google maps:

http://maps.google.com

Click on the square in the upper right that switches to "map" view from "satellite" view. Wait a bit. That is now your default view.

I just tried this on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

It does help to learn how to use tools before you say they suck.

Have you seen the beta for City Maps yet? OH MY GOODNESS! It's going to blow google maps out of the water when it gets going. Check out all the interesting features that it offers. When you play around with it...you realize how much other maps fall short...and also how much you want this program to get going NOW! http://citymaps.com
