My first reaction was "At least give the guy credit for the Flyover feature". But I just found that the feature came with the acquisition of C3 Technologies (2011). Looking at other aspects of the Maps app, I have hard time convincing others there are innovative components that originated from the team.

The C3 acquisition provided only the raw data. A lot of sleepless nights were spent turning that data into a major feature of the application.
Thanks for this insider knowledge (I assume you work at A). It feels better to know that my initial assumptions were incorrect.
