Google Earth has a "terrain" option. It's at the bottom of "Layers". When switched on, when you select an oblique view, rather than looking straight down, you get a 3d effect.
Google Maps always looks straight down. The only way to recognise steepness is to activate the G_PHYSICAL_MAP map type and look at the contours. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
