Google has now removed the terrain map feature from Google Maps. It was very useful for any number of things. But now it's gone - and I can't complain to Google to tell them how great is WAS, because they don't take feedback. Well, it was good while it lasted. Hopefully Google will hear the cries of protest, at least mine, and bring it back!PatricktheRoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405925786857085350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-73473069123979819122009-09-07T13:45:33.945-07:002009-09-07T13:45:33.945-07:00Google Maps:
