What's Here and Default View

[tripinva]

So glad to have found this. The new Google Maps is absolutely atrocious. I use Google Maps primarily for looking at locations on the terrain map and getting their coordinates, so what I am looking for is a way to duplicate the "What's Here" feature to get coordinates and a way default to Terrain View (or even Satellite View would work) such that I can replace my Google Maps Firefox Search Keyword with your nifty new map. I would offer to help except that I don't know enough JavaScript to be of value. Thanks for putting this together!

Right now can do http://gokml.net/maps?t=t (to load Terrain) or http://gokml.net/maps?t=s (for sat) or more likly http://gokml.net/maps?t=h (for Hybrid) - t=r for the roadmap. There is also ll= and z= for centering the map.

Can also use the q param: http://gokml.net/maps?q=pizza&ll=54.32343,-4.3435&z=10&t=h so can use it with keyword search, probably with http://gokml.net/maps?q=%s&t=h

Awesome! Works great! Just needs "What's Here" (admittedly, something most people probably don't use...) and I'm set. :)
