Much better than that Da*n GCM, with many wrong locations and restriction on route numbers....

Like Stephen says, you must consider the pros and cons.

GCM is not the best map program you could use, but it is nice, quick, and cheap, meaning that the server won't get overloaded and the map will load quickly.

Google maps is large and complicated, so it will take much longer to load then GCM, but, also as a result, the graphics are a heck of a lot better. ;)

GCM is fine by me. Who wants to waste time waiting for the stupid thing to load when you can just wait 2 seconds for GCM to load.

I chose the GCM, only because all this fancy shamcy flash crap makes it impossible for me to see things quicker (some of us here are still on dial-up  :wink: ).
