Google Maps shows sunken car where missing man’s body was found

You can turn off 3d mode by the blindingly obvious procedure of clicking the hamburger button, observing that "Globe" mode is enabled (because it is blue) and then clicking "Globe" to disable this mode.

Don't be so foolish as to think the button labelled "3D" in the content area toggles the 3D mode. Only an idiot would make that assumption!

(The above is sarcastic. I think the discoverability of this feature, and the weird 1/3/1 modality behavior of the items in the second section of the hamburger menu is shockingly poor).

The quality drops off if you do that and you get a completely different set of images. There's no way to turn of the 3D garbage and still see the same thing.

Oh I see, yeah it's a shame that you get a different set of imagery too...
