      At the moment it can't zoom anywhere or by any amount. :) "Site is busy with many users, please bear with us" They need a bigger elastic band, or more (what is the Indian equivalent of Hamster)s.

        Seeing the white screen on the website, I though it zoomed too much into one of the white objects on earth.

            You missed an important qualifier.

            ... in India. The zoom level in any area comes down to what imagery they bought; not a fundamental limit. Discounting street view, google maps are capable of zooming to a resolution of several centimeters/pixel (areal photography, not satellite images). Anyone care to speculate how long until google buys a set of <10m imagery for India. :rolleyes:

              If you zoom in on the middle of Amersfoort (the netherlands) you can see that most of the buildings there have orange roof tiles, and you can see that they are in fact roof tiles. That's a lot better than 200m, or even 10m, so what's up?

                    They looked for an area where google never bothered to buy halfway decent imagery and are letting people take what they said out of context to exaggerate the problem.

                      Just as long as it doesn't zoom anywhere near the wireless bridge antenna I've just put up on my roof. Site is up as at this moment Well done India
