The Rotate/Tilt Feature of Google Maps is available via GMaps.  At Zoom index of 18 - 20, in selected cities, a 45 degree angle view is available when Satellite or Hybrid View is selected.  By clicking the Rotate Map control (see at pointer in map view below), the map is rotated 90 degrees while maintaining the 45 degree angle/tilt perspective.  An example is shown in the following sequence for a location in Kansas City, MO.

Switching to zoom level 17, the view "flattens" from the 45-degree angle.  Above views are of the block where the hand is located in the view below.
