Did anyone else get a small version of Google Maps lately? I’ve gotten it twice, I open up a new browser window and it’s back to normal… I assume maybe they’re testing something, but I don’t see any advantage to this smaller map.

For smaller devices? Say… Google Local for a mobile phone? I know, the map’s still bigger than a phone screen, but perhaps it’s more scalable?

Yes I can understand that, but they should know that I’m using a full browser (they should be able to deduce that from the HTTP header I think…)

yes, I’ve been running into the same thing in FF since they migrated maps to ‘google local’.
