Google Maps

I've just recently started noticing that Google Maps satellite view of some areas changes perspective as you zoom in.

At high altitude it is in an almost directly above shot (traditional).

But as you zoom down the perspective canges to a more angled view - perhaps at least 10 degrees off plumb - with much greater resolution.

Plus the two perspectives may be in different seasons.

Examples - Port Dalhousie, Ontario............. Ponces Inlet, Florida.

Add street view and you have 3 views now in some areas.
