To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

You aren't missing much - the overcluttered layout is a headache.
Stay happy in nice pure understated Google-land....

If you have ever done any extensive www development (JS,XML, etc) you'd know that Safari decides to do it's own thing too damn often. We (the startup I work for) try like hell to support it, (we support version 1.3 and above only)... but many hours are lost doing so because Apple had to do their own thing.

If you use Safari's debug menu and change it to report that it is IE 6 on Windows, the page displays and interacts just fine. Not only are they discriminating (for want of a better word) against Safari, they are doing so for absolutely no reason.

Camino works fine too when faking it's user agent as Firefox 1.5
More proof that Yahoo are jerks ... Google kicking their ass and what do they do? Block browsers for no reason! I wonder why they don't just make this an IE exclusive? :P

anyone else notice it looks a lot like msn's old layout? (of course no one noticed, who uses msn?)

Works fine if you change the User Agent of Safari to MSIE 6.0.
It seems odd that they would restrict it to IE and FF, when it appears to work OK in Safari. Hell, it's a preview, it's not supposed to work perfectly.

It didn't even support Firefox until a few days ago.

Geez, calm down! It's only a preview, fer cryin' out loud! They got it working for the two most popular browsers out there, and they'll get the compatibility issues worked out for Safari. Or would you rather they just let Safari users in there with gross incompatibilities? Imagine what you'd be saying then! You'd be grousing that they should have taken their time to get it right.
Honestly though, it's nothing special. It's cluttered and looks like it was designed by someone who thinks good design means No White Space Left Behind.

How do you fake your user agent?

you need to add the debug menu to Safari
open the Terminal and type this
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

... I thought you were writing about IE. When I write standards-based websites, Safari works perfectly. It's Microsoft that has to "do their own thing." Of course, since Microsoft has such a huge market share in installed browsers, people must think that IE is the standard instead of the abberation.

Oh, haven't you heard? The Internet was designed around Internet Explorer. :|
