But they won't let you do it.It's ok for "them" to see what you are doing, but you cannot see what "they" are doing. All in the name of national security.My 2 cents.

Basically zooming in further on Google is a crock.

If you could zoom in so far to see what type underwear the other guys were wearing, than the military would get their tights all in a bunch.

It’s called “they are protecting you from yourself”.

Maps will zoom in so close you can see a ghat sitting on a toothpick.
But they won’t let you do it.

It’s ok for “them” to see what you are doing, but you cannot see what “they” are doing. All in the name of national security.

My 2 cents.

I do like the interface for Yahoo maps a little more but Google's satellite imagery is better.

I have to admit, this is much further zoomed than I can get with Yahoo! maps, although I like the look and feel of Y! maps (despite the oversized ad that somehow ignore my AT&T status).
