The URL to the Google Maps API is http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ and it is
in beta. On a related note, I was disappointed when trying to download the
free version of Google Earth yesterday that it's also in beta and currently
unavailable (http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/index.html where it
says in part "... we're sorry we can't offer you a download right now. As
you know, Google Earth is in beta, and we're still building out our ability
to take on new users. ...). Don't you hate it when something's publicized
and then you learn it's still in beta and can't actually be downloaded.
There's nothing on the Google Earth main page that says the product is in
beta. And who would've thought Google couldn't meet the download demand.
