First there was the Edsel.
Then New Coke.
And now "New" Google Maps.

They've decided to convert everything to shades of blue, green, gray.
It's hard enough to see on a computer screen at home and impossible on the road.
Plus, back roads have been reduced to a near-invisible gray line.
The only way to see them is to zoom in to the last level, but then you can't see the bigger picture.

Nebraska has a well-designed state bike map where you can see low volume roads at a quick glance.
The colored routes only apply to state highways - green, blue, yellow, red.
(I think blue should be the least traffic a la William Least Heat Moon - but hey.)
Back roads are in gray - and show up against the white background. Solid - paved; dashed - unpaved.
