I've been a "power user" of online maps since mapquest was just starting
out so yeah, I knew it was there ;-). The satellite view is the
"overhead" view I referred to me my original view.
The Bird's Eye View is presumably taken from a plane at a lower
altitude. You see an angled view of everything. It is a KILLER feature
for me since it gives tons more detail than an overhead shot will but
more depth than a street view shot would.
