Hmm, when I load maps.google.com I can see a reference to the latest
version of the v2 API inside the source code, that's at the moment

http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/288e/maps2.api/main.js

and a few v2 methods which are absent in v3, like

GBrowserIsCompatible()
GUnload()

And I am able to use exactly this code base for a v2 API map.

But when I load a v3 map I can only see references to the v3 API,
that's at the moment

http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/api-3/2/9/main.js


So I can see that maps.google.com and the v2 Maps API maps are sharing
the same code base, which maps.google.com may enlarge with some other
code.
