Map Module - it's not Birdseye View rather than Oblique?

The Map Module doesn't seem to have an option for just an oblique view of the satellite imagery. Now it looks like Bing's Birds-eye View.

I'm trying to drag images to a particular street intersection (I don't know the exact address) and the attached screenshot makes it a bit difficult.

What am I missing?

So in last few months salellite/hybrid map view has changed from top view to some kind of perspective.
Its bad for me for at least two reasons:

- perspective view got much older maps - at least 5 years old

- its hard to add pin to locations behind buildings

Is there a way to change satellite map view to top view?

A few others have reported this bug in the last couple of months. It could be a bug in the way LR is calling Google's map service, or it could be purely a bug on Google's side. But without a reliable way to reproduce the problem on multiple configurations, Adobe won't pay much attention unless many, many people report the problem, unfortunately.

Since a few days LrC Map module past a certain zoom level switches to the (horrible) Bird's Eye View, something that makes precise positioning of photos not possible anymore. Try this: put the pin where the new visualization makes you believe it's correct, then copy the coordinates and look in the real web version of Google Maps. You'll see a position very different, at least by 15/20 meters.

As my workflow requires PRECISE GPS, this is a new and really disturbing bug, the makes one of the most useful features of LrC totally a joke.

Please!! Revert to the old version!

My LR 11.3.1 Map module (both Mac and Windows) shows a Google 2D satellite view for that location (around 14 Wall St, New York), while yours is showing a Google Global (3D) view. Someone else reported similar symptoms a couple weeks ago but never followed up on whether they went away. Since not everyone sees the Global (3D) view, I think this is a bug affecting some rather than a deliberate change affecting everyone.

Here's my LR 11.3.1 Map for 14 Wall St:

And zoomed all the way in:

Also, until someone can produce a step-by-step recipe that lets other reproduce the problem or until many people report it, it's unlikely it will get attention from Adobe, unfortunately.

I don't know that you're "missing" anything. That's just the way Google Maps displays some areas as you zoom in. My only suggestions are to zoom out a little or switch the Map Style from Satellite to Road Map.
