Great! Never noticed; must be new in the last few days. Now they need to use Google for multiple points on the "Map It" option. Which they did, I just noticed--a Google beta!
Wow, big improvement.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] GOOGLE MAP
Hey all, for those of us who are still in analog mode and like to print
out hard copies of cache pages, I just noticed the map on the pages is a
google map that shows EXACTLY where you're going, no need to click and
go to MapQuest. Cool!
Azvicki.

For those who don't occassionally visit the forums...<br><br>Jeremy Wrote:<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">"In the continuation of our Google Earth features we have integrated Google Maps with Geocaching.com.</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">First, the usual map you see on the cache pages has been replaced by a Google map. Google has been improving their maps over time so expect to see more improved maps outside the US as they build their library. Recently many areas in Europe have been enjoying their improved maps.</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">When you click on the pin on the map, however, the best Google Map functionality can be found. It should be relatively intuitive but you can drag the map around which will automatically refresh the pins on the page for the caches in the area. So we don't tax the servers too much we
only show a maximum of 150 caches when you zoom out too far. However dragging the map around can be very productive in your search.</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The other feature is just for premium members. You can now select a bookmark list from the top of the page and click the book beside each cache to add or remove it from your bookmark list. The response should be pretty quick and rewarding for those planning out their day of caching.</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">We hope you enjoy the new features. If you wish to discuss this further I have </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=131632" target="_blank">started a new forum topic</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> to post questions and comments."</span><br><br>From
