I think Google Maps could have come up with a less confusing term for
their "new" Aerial Imagery.  To most in the GIS or related profession,
an "Aerial Image" is considered one taken from an Airplane.  The first
mistake Google has made is calling the regular imagery as "Sattelite
Imagery".  We all know that in most places, once you are at a more
maximum zoom, you are looking at airplane photographed imagery which
could be refered to as Aerail Imagery and not Sattelite Imagery.  I
understand keeping it simple, and hey most regurlar users have no
clue.  But, by calling the new oblique imagery, as Aerial Imagery",
you are only digging a greater whole in your naming conventions.  Just
my 2 cents.
