Google Aerial View

An example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa on Google Aerial View.

Google Aerial View is a view on Google Maps. In December 2009, Google released Aerial View, consisting of angled aerial imagery, offering a "bird's eye view" of cities. The first cities available were San Jose and San Diego. This feature was available only to developers via the Google Maps API.[1] In February 2010, it was introduced as an experimental feature in Google Maps Labs.[2]

In July 2010, Aerial View was made available in Google Maps in select cities in the United States and worldwide.[3] As of 2012, the Google Aerial View is less comprehensive in coverage than Bing Birdseye View, with many major cities like London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, and Washington, D.C. still not covered.
