Super-Close Google Maps Zooms hack
Topic: Technology 11:46 pm EST, Mar  8, 2007

Holy moly that is a close up zoom of a camel (see my screenshot above) – and it works for other place on Google Maps too! Yes, it turns out that you can zoom in much more deeply onto Google Maps by doing this:

1. Select a location and switch to satellite view
2. Zoom in as far as you can, and click “link to this page” at the top right
3. Now replace the “z” parameter in the URL with a higher value, e.g. 20, 22, or 23, and wait. Some locations will now show more detailed imagery

I was able to get my condo up to 20, one more than normal. Apparently that is as high as Atlanta goes.
