An invite? To test a new version of Google Maps? This isn't Gmail and it's not a freaking social network. When will you learn Google?

  This is controlled public beta. But more importantly, I don't see why this kind of negativity is necessary.

  You should feel special that you can apply for invite.

  You should ask for a refund.

  I don't see anything wrong with this. There are any number of scalability, data quality, and other problems that will inevitably crop up when you scale out something like this. Short of a Death Star full of genetically engineered QA monkeys Google has to launch this incrementally to avoid the complete disaster that was Apple Maps. An invitation/queue system seems like the perfect answer.
