Not bad... I can't find a way to turn on topographical data, though, which I'm a big fan of, as a bicyclist.

Click "Map View", lower right corner, next to the + and - buttons.

Yeah, really too bad. There's so much crap scattered across a google map these days.

But waddya want for free?

Too bad. The current replacement sucks massively and is a pain to use. I guess the old one was just not evil enough.

Who needs more than 10 route points anyway? New feature allows you to not being able to enter more than that!

Anyway, how is Bing Maps these days?
