Here is what I want: 1)it would be amazing if you could control things like the number of advertisement balloons per screen 2)the color and size of the balloons, 3)tell gmap-adsense the keywords that would be relevant to your map, in addition to letting google spider the words on your page.

So far I haven't seen a downloadable tile set or code that generates a specific tile set. You also think all of those features are likely INSIDE the Google maps API? I think they'd all make wonderful mashups, but they seem too specialized to be part of the API itself. Cam Mapperz,

As for Layers, there are lots already using the 'custom layers' in the API. http://www.earthtools.org/ has contours There are plenty of others showing populations and weather. So the future is here already. (Possible) New Features include: Directions but including with air and sea (distance/time). 4 D Time (Temporal) Mapping (London over time 4th Century to Present) Power Find - not only finds nearest but suggests based on search.
