I do find URL's for Virtual Earth Street, Sat., and Hybrid. Does that mean I have to use Virtual Earth if I want to display a Hybrid map?
Thanks,

Yes, although Niko Kotilainen posted an interesting Google Maps-based hybrid map generator here:

You have to generate your own maps separately, though, so I'm not sure how legal it is.
