Many bonus points to Google though for keeping it very fast.

The basic clicky-draggie interface has been around since the start, but this ain't that. I get a red targeting bracket that's new, also the ability to zoom out to planet scale rotate over to Spain and zoom back in is new, at least to google maps.
