Google Maps SVG Support
<p>One of the beauties of the web is deployment. A service can be updated without you the user knowing. Google Maps has added SVG support for browsers that support it (Firefox, Opera) to match their VML support for IE.This is a lot better than the transparent PNG solution and prevents the server-client roundtrip.
It also means that if you print directions, you get the lines :)
Getting SVG support like this is great for the SVG community.
