I've imported the google maps street layer with arc2earth and produced a new one, and I show it in a web site with the google api v3 and the streets layer generated by me doesn't match the google maps street layer, and that happens because arc2earth uses the maps from the google api v2. And nobody believes me. I've talked with arc2earth and google support, and both say that the maps are the same.
But I have proofs:
for example in this location it is very clear how different they are:
19.369818,-99.261531
(mexico city)
You can check the v2 here:
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v2-geocoder-tool.html#q%3D19.369818%2C-99.261531 (zoom in please)
and the v3 in the official google maps page:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=19.368376,-99.263443&hl=en&ll=19.369684,-99.261244&spn=0.00143,0.002411&sll=19.369722,-99.261295&sspn=0.00144,0.002411&vpsrc=6&t=m&z=19
Answer:
The A2E community edition(Trial) uses the v2 maps. All the paid editions uses the v3 maps.

We use Google Maps API and they had a weather layer which they "sunsetted." So it's no longer available - how can I add weather to Google Maps or is there another map API we can use in our asp.net site that shows KML data for routing information and also weather?
Thank you
For Bing Maps, many developers have used various weather API's to bring this data in. Here are a few worth looking into:

I'm using the ThoroughfareName property of google maps api v2 which is very handy to get only the address part.
I didn't see any equivalent to this in api v3. Is there some best practices / recognized algorithm to build it back using address_components ?
So far what I have done is use the route type of address_components + the street_number. This is probably not the correct algorithm but it suits my needs.
I want to show timezones on the map I created using google maps api v3.
I want to show something like this --> http://24timezones.com/
If you don't mind using a deprecated API, you can use API v2 in combination with sample code that is easily found with a Google search.
Otherwise, I think you will need to find a data source that will give you the timezones in some format (perhaps KML?), and draw them on to the map perhaps using Polyline objects.
How to search for a hospital near a location (by city, state, zip, address) using Google maps API V3.
Yahoo has a pretty good rest based web service where we can create a NSUrl object with this url (http://local.yahooapis.com/LocalSearchService/V2/localSearch?appid=myappid&query=hospital&zip=10301) and pass it to a NSParser which will return all the hospitals near that zip.
How can we do the something like this using google api?? We have to use google api.
Check out the Google Places API-- it's fairly recent but should do exactly what you're looking for: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/places.html
Is there Google My Map control available for free download, which use to draw shapes on the map
For the API V2 there's GeometryControls:
http://gmaps-utility-library-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geometrycontrols/
For V3 I'm not aware of any.
