Google maps used to have a feature where if you scroll back from street view you would get a 3D rendering before they gave you the 2D satellite view if you scrolled further back.

Not sure why that went away, but it was pretty cool, and I enjoyed exploring a number of places with the feature before it went away.

It's still there. Just tested it with google.com/maps in Chrome 86 on Linux. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter Street View 2. Scroll out a few clicks

Expected and observed behavior: the viewport switches to 3D-mode, with the view centered on the location and direction being observed in Street View.
