The Washington Posts mentions that Google Maps now show train/metro stations and outlines of buildings in the map view:

Here is an example from the story:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1150+15th+st.+nw+washington+dc&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=38.904704,-77.034692&spn=0.01067,0.0212&om=1

Adding the metro stations is a big help for me. We want to go out in DC I have to use Yahoo maps so I can figure out what metro station is close.
