Mashup Google Maps less detailed?
I was happy to find out that Google Maps made Amsterdam available in hi-res satellite view, and with a street map:
The strange thing, is that when I checked the same location in a mash-up, using the Google Maps API, the resolution is still the old data, and without a street map:
Which sucks, because I use the mashup as a graphical geocoder in my geotag plugin for this weblog (Serendipity). Which results in less accurate geotagged postings
Is this a prelude of a 'pay and get more detail' strategy for Google? Or does that not comply with their don't be evil conduct and am I just being paranoid?

Silly me, thinking that Google turned evil. I have updated the Serendipity geotag plugin to Google Maps Version 2. Duh. It should show up in Spartacus as version 1.13.
