How to Undistort a Zoomed in Picture on Google Maps
The Google Maps online map application lets you view your map in one of two ways; you can view the map using Google's generic map images or you can view it using satellite images. If you choose to view your map using satellite images, there is a chance the images will appear distorted and blur as you zoom in on them. This issue has a quick fix that does not require any action on the part of the user, only patience.
