A much more pleasant map here (although it's highlighting different things than we probably want to, since it's mainly for driving) http://hairycow.name/commute_map/map.html#from:94703
We should also consider using openstreetmap. There's a lot you can do with OSM/Mapnik. It might be too much work for us, though.

One other alternative is Cloudmade. They provide different raster styles generated from OSM data, and some kind of tools for generating your own. Looks like it's free for free apps.
Closing after desaturating the google map a bit, which fixes my original complaint. We can open separate issues for other possible enhancements.
