It's just a giant camera in space, it doesn't always have to point straight down. There are several different ways to create a mosaic (the technical term for what most people are calling "stitching") from multiple images. But, yeah, all of Google's pics are from EarthSat, and are pretty well put together.

I've worked on the expansion of McCormick Place in Chicago for the past 2 years and according to the aerial photo I haven't even begun to clear the site much less erect the steel structure.
