Google Maps resolution

---

Anyone noticed that the detail/zoom level isn't as good as it could be?
e.g. try to find Piccadilly Circus in London.

I am told that the HTC Touch 3G and the iphone shows better res.

I believe the HD is having same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532745

Is this device specific?

Anyone have ideas?

The search is great is a great app so want to keep this.
Have upgraded to 3.2 - no change

low resolution??
Got to be kidding...

Just take a look at these printscreens:

I think the OP is referring to the amount of Zooming In which can be done on Satellite view before GoogleMaps stops displaying the view and shows blank screen.

I agree with the OP, I've noticed the same thing. I don't have any answers but would love it if someone has some insight.

Hi

The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.

If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.

I think it's true to say you need very good eyesight to use the TD2 screen to the full

You're right, I'm going to have to carry round my Granny's Page Magnifier!

You joke about it, I'm seriously considering reading glasses specifically for when I'm surfing on the TD2, to save using the zoom bar all the time! OK, I'll need them soon anyway, but that will be the main use!

Google maps zoom level

I don't think you understand my problem - maybe you don't have the same problem?
See the 3 screenshots. 2 taken from Opera and one from Google maps.
The Google maps is at least 2 or 3 levels of zoom less than that from using the browser.
