Google Maps: View of Glen Canyon bridge (satellite images 3D models and street view)

The Earth view of the Glen Canyon bridge shows how the combination of satellite images and 3D “Earth” models work together. The satellite view can’t see underneath the bridge, and the 3D model of the bridge can’t repair the illusion that the road drops down the canyon walls and hugs the ground.

Unfortunately, the “street-view” vehicle doesn’t dynamically adapt to its context; it would be appropriate to raise the camera 10 or 20 feet here so as to get a clear view of the canyon. The scarcity of roads and the scarcity of “interesting views” from the road do suggest a different approach for mapping places like this. One wonders whether it’s desirable (and practical) for the vehicle operator to make a stop, get out and “bicycle-view” or “backpack-view” the pedestrian bridge seen here.
