regular street map viewand or hybrid

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would like to be able to have gmapcatcher get the normal street map view
instead of the satellite and terrain views only. The map view seems to only
show a closer satellite view. 

Hybrid view would also be awesome as well. I may hack at it myself.

I was just about to report that myself. Street map view is already implemented 
- it
just stopped working about a week ago, so this is more of a bug than an 
enhancement.
I tried a fresh install and still only satellite and terrain images where 
downloaded.
I think the image addresses are requested from maps.google - as opposed to being
calculated by the python script, so I think the problem is in a change of online
software of policy? Even old maps get replaced by satellite images if you force 
an
update - you just need to reload gmapcatcher to see the damage. This is another 
bug,
which perhaps I'll now report.

ps. yes a hybrid for close ups would be a nice option.
