Google Moon has the best close up of all: http://moon.google.com/

Some areas are more detailed than others. If you use the search, you
can get down quite a bit, but even so, rural or semi-rural areas do not
have the same amount of detail. Try a major city and you should see
more. At the bottom is a +/- bar and you can zoom with that.

Harold, you must have purchased the upgrade as I found that you could
not zoom in very close. Or did I do something incorrectly?

Hello again
For your kind Windows Firewall vs ZoneAlarm responses, on and off the
list
(thank you, Elaine), I'm sharing a fantastic program that Google came out
with. It's called Google Earth --- http://earth.google.com/
The following is the blurb. I forgot from where I copied it:
Quote --- Want to know more about a specific location? Dive right in
-- Google
Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search
to put
the world's geographic information at your fingertips. Google Earth
puts a
planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your
desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of
interest
such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more.
With Google Earth, you can fly from space to your neighborhood; type
in an
address and zoom right in; search for schools, parks, restaurants, and
hotels.
Get driving directions; tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and
buildings; and save and share your searches and favorites. You can
even add
your own annotations --- End Quote
From the above link you can download the program. I entered all the
addresses
I lived in and saw the house and the entire neighborhood around it.
It's best
if you included the th, rd, or st when entering street numbers. You
would type
in an entire addresses, commas and all, for example, "123 East 45th
Street,
Anycity, NY 67890" (you would type in a real address, sans quotes),
and the
program zooms you right into that neighborhood. Using my current
address, I
even saw my car in the parking lot. It's a satellite picture probably
taken a
few years ago. Once you accumulate a few addresses, you can travel
from one
place to another. I'll always regret that I never bought Google stock ---
Harold.
