View terrain on Google Maps

Google Maps replaced the button Hybrid with a button reading Terrain, reports Google Blogoscoped.
Hybrid showed a mix between satellite imagery and maps data, such as streets or borders — a feature I liked. There is also a new feature of the Satellite tab, a checkbox which allows you to toggle off the display of labels on the map.
Another change to Google Maps automatically gives you a pop-up Street View image if you search for a site where one is available. Google Maps Street View allows you to view (pan and zoom) panoramic photos of a limited number of US cities shown below.
