Hello,
Is it possible to disable the automatic shift to 3D when zooming in?

Hi Thomas - are you asking about the 45 degree imagery on Google Maps, or something else? Please let me know.
Hi Stephen,
Yes, when I open a location and zoom in beyond a certain level, Google Maps (satellite) automatically switches to 3D:

Got it - yes, thatās rather annoying and thereās no documented API to disable that behaviour (Iāve tried multiple times in the past to find one).
Strangely, Google announced last August that they were discontinuing the 45Ā° imagery in Google Maps, but it still seems to be hanging around.
The web app is currently using version ā3.62.13eā and per Googleās documentation, there should no longer be any 45Ā° imagery, so Iām a little puzzled.
Iāll see if I can learn more about why itās still showing up.

Yes, it is still going to 45 degree view when you zoom in on an area that has the data for it. But you can turn it off by using this toggle on the TPE Web interface toward the lower right corner:
Once I toggle it to the off position, it seems to stay off even if I zoom back out or leave that location and zoom back in later. But I donāt know how long it stays that way before it reverts back to the default behavior.

Thatās what Iām doing ā turning it off. The problem is that I have to do that every time I search for a location and zoom in.
I am finding that it remains off as long as I am just zooming in and out and other things, but I see that after doing a search or using one of my saved Locations the āoffā status is canceled and it is back. I donāt see any way to turn it off permanently.

Itās the same here. As long as I stay on the map and donāt search or open saved locations, it stays off.
