Viewing Bird's Eye Images
Bird's Eye view is a zoomed-in, side-angle view produced with aerial photographs. In most areas, you can switch the map to Bird's Eye view. This view can be displayed with or without map labels.
Note: Because Bird's Eye view requires a tight zoom, it can affect your search and reduce your number of search results. To increase your number of search results again, simply switch back to Road or Aerial view and zoom out.
