It's not enough that you can use their web page to zoom in on different bits of the world, but you can also do it in real time. When I started it up it gave me a globe and I then zoomed in on London. I then zoomed back out again and picked New York off of the "high res" links and it gave me a long zoom all the way in, filling it detail as it went. If it wasn't so expensive I'd buy a subscription. As it is I'm going to enjoy my 30 days.
