I've used "classic" google maps until it went away. The
new version is optimized for small screens and small minds,
but randomly crashes firefox and X on my big screen laptop.
I will upgrade distros soon, and that might fix it, but it
might be a small-screen small-programmer-brain problem.
So - suggestions for alternatives? I was quite adept at
using classic, especially the ability to scroll out to
full-planet-map-view with one mouse-stroke. Perhaps that
does not matter to the globally unaware, but I sometimes
use street view in London or Hong Kong ( "... where was
that place we went ...") and the new maps requires many
more mouseclicks and many netflix-delays to use.
