The 45° imaging is no longer displayed in Google Maps due to changes made in the CAD Mapping.

Google Maps API is changing, and it will impact the satellite views of the CAD Map in Ally and Allygov. 

Only some zoomed-in satellite views will be impacted, as not all Google Maps satellite views show the 45°  view. 

The change will be released by Google in August 2025. At that time, Google Maps API satellite maps will no longer automatically switch to 45° Imagery at higher zoom levels. Where 45° Imagery is available, the map will show the top-down satellite view even as the user zooms in. This will impact Ally satellite views on the CAD map.  

45° Imagery provides an aerial view of the world, where objects are viewed at an angle, giving an additional perspective (in certain locations only). The example below is a  45° Imagery on the left (current when available) vs. top-down imagery on the right (how it will look after the change in August):

When available, 45° Imagery is displayed automatically when the user zooms to a certain level. 

Based on feedback and usage patterns, Google is deprecating the use of 45-degree imagery in the Google Maps JavaScript API. Customer needs for visualizing the world are increasingly met through other modern mapping approaches.

The specific functionalities and perspectives offered by 45° imagery no longer fit the use cases of most of their customers.

There are no resolutions are workarounds at this time. Moving forward, Google Maps satellite view will only display the top-down view.  

The change will be released in August 2025; at that time, Google Maps API satellite maps will no longer automatically switch to 45° Imagery at higher zoom levels. The satellite map will always display the top-down view after the change in August 2025.
