Default The new Google Maps

What are everyone's thoughts on the new layout and look for Google Maps? In Streetview you used to be able to see the image date but now that seems to be gone. That was a handy feature to use especially in a rapidly growing city like ours.

I Tried printing a map off it yesterday, couldn't find the print button. So I was upset. I think I will get over it once I find the print button.

Still can't figure out how to click the map in two spots to drop a balloon to create a route.

- Click for desintation
- Click 'direction arrow' logo
- Click for origin

EDIT: Printing option is available when you're in the "view all options" page.

I'm unable to save my home address as "Home". It states that it doesn't recognize the address. If I manually select the location on the map, the address works perfectly. I try to set that location as my home location, and it simply won't do it.

Other than that, it's great.

I can't get traffic to show up. Has anybody found where that is?

With all these questions, one would assume that the Help button is also difficult to find.

Hiding options is definitely an interesting approach which is definitely going to confuse people for a long time. I really do like the extra screen real estate though.

Didn't see a point in starting a new thread.

If you search for any address in Google maps right now look down at the bottom left corner. There is the box you can click for satellite view and right next to that is a pacman option that converts any street layout to a playable pacman game.
