Images upgraded, using the new version of the Google Maps API

We've updated Tagzania to comply with the new official Google Maps API v. 2.

New images, until now not available in these so-called mash-ups, only visible at Google Earth or Google Local are now present at Tagzania.

The imagery upgrade is awesome in places like Nashville, London (much of the UK, really), Tallinn...  Check some examples here. A comparative screenshot with a city in the Mediterranian coast of Spain, Alicante. Then and now:
The Atomium at Tagzania, then and now
More: some aerial images from the National Geographic Magazine in Africa. Some areas where perspectives clash, in an Escher-like visual effect. Zoom in at the items listed there.

Some areas recently enhanced at Google Earth, notably at Germany, not present yet at Tagzania. But as soon as they show up in Google Local, we assume that the update will be immediate.
