You're basically zooming in.
No, I'm not. Perhaps you are, but that's your problem, not mine.
Yes, you are.
Put a map or satellite photo...oh wait, aerial photo (I forgot FE'rs don't believe in satellites) with a distance scale on something stretchable, and then stretch it. The
image becomes bigger, and the distance you're looking at in a fixed viewing area becomes less as the
scale itself becomes bigger. (this is what's happening on google maps the closer you get to the poles from the equator)
Now take that same image, and zoom in.

scale itself becomes bigger.Yes, I already saw it for myself on google maps panning north or south from the equator without touching the zoom adjustment.
