iOS 17 Messages -> Info: no longer displays Satellite map view

After upgrading to iOS 17, the Messages App no longer displays the Satellite map for my contacts. I do see that Messages will display a Standard map only. If I click on the estimated travel time at the bottom of the screen, Messages redirects to Maps and then shows a route to that contact. However, that's not what I'm always interested in doing. Sometimes, I need to see the location of my contact without a routing map. The satellite view was golden. How do I get it back? Is there an option somewhere that I need to activate, or has the feature been deprecated?

iPhone 11 Pro Max

I wish I could go back to IOS 16. None of the ‘benefits’ of 17 are worth the loss of the satalite view.
