Putting the information on this website together with the informations from the Geocaching Live Beta Discussion Group I found the following new mapservers for the Geocaching Live Beta:
Name: Google Maps Street
URL: http://khm.google.com/maptilecompress/t=1&x=[X]&y=[Y]&z=[INVZ]
Projection: WGS84/Spherical
Name: Google Maps Aerial
URL: http://khm.google.com/maptilecompress/t=2&x=[X]&y=[Y]&z=[INVZ]
Projection: WGS84/Spherical
Name: Google Maps Hybrid
URL: http://khm.google.com/maptilecompress/t=3&x=[X]&y=[Y]&z=[INVZ]
