welcome to the era of "you should upgrade your computer" and "We did no optimize it because nowadays computers are powerful enough"

Era of "modern" browsers.

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

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

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.

that doesn't show topographical data, seems to only show terrain, as far as i can tell, the areas in the mountains i hike often are not showing lines.

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?

am i the only one that hates the new UI ?
