There are also parallax issues with the vertical views and I wonder if these inaccuracies are also true on the maps? If you look at a tall vertical feature such as a chimney you will often find the top is obviously not in the same location as the base. I don't know if this is relevant, since the maps overlay on the images always shows the map roads coinciding with the aerial view roads. Do they tweak the maps to fit the aerial images? If so, would this result in positional inaccuracies? I suppose it depends on how good the software is. Would this vertical misplacement also affect apparent locations of features at elevated locations on the sides of mountains? And would any misplacement be more obvious near the edge of an aerial view pane?
