Default A Beginners questions...

Hi, I haven't had a chace to go through all the forums as yet, but this is probably a very beginners question. How do I zoom in to houses and streets as I am unable to find anything that allows me to do so.
Thanks all..

If you have a scroll wheel on you mouse just use it. Also you can double click on an area or hold down ctrl. or shift and press the arrow keys.

Also use the + - on the screen next to the north south east west control.

Hi, Thanks to you both for your reply. I know how to zoom in but for some reason once I get close I can't see anything and it is just blurred. When I zoom in somewhere else for instance New York it works. Why does it work for some places and not where I live? Thanks.

Some places are in high res and others are not. Where I live it is blurry, but just a few blocks down it's better resolution. The pictures are a collection some newer than others. Just give it time and yours should be clearer.
