The map types G_NORMAL_MAP and G_HYBRID_MAP now display approximate
street addresses as street labels at zoom level 17 and higher. If one
does not want these addresses displayed, they can zoom out; however,
the user loses the ability to see more detail at the higher zoom
levels.

Google should create separate map types for displaying the addresses
labels because of the multitude of applications that have already been
built to display streets labeled with numbers that could represent
anything from number of occurences of anything on the street segment
(traffic counts/volumes/crashes, etc.) to identification of the street
(ids or linear referencing attributes such as mileposting or property
addresses from local sources).

There are several other Google map types that exist that are not as
frequently used:
G_MOON_ELEVATION_MAP
G_MOON_VISIBLE_MAP
G_MARS_ELEVATION_MAP
G_MARS_VISIBLE_MAP
G_MARS_INFRARED_MAP
G_SKY_VISIBLE_MAP

Google ... can you add a couple more?
