Turns out you can also use the arrow keys to navigate and then use -[+-] to zoom in and out. That’s closer to what I wanted.

You can also double-click on the spot you want to be centered, so it takes a total of three clicks to get what you want. I see what you mean though.

Yes, you can switch to any zoom with one click, but you first have to center what you want, by dragging it to the center. I’d like a zoom box. The other sites I think let you click anywhere on the map and it centers that.

In brief use, I kinda wish Google Maps would somehow mark the place you look up, so that as you zoom out you still know where it is. I’ve mentioned it to them through their feedback link, and I guess we’ll see …

Cameron: What do you mean by a better way to zoom in with the mouse? You can switch to any zoom level in one click.

That is cool. I especially like the fact you can type in and get directions without having to go through the hassle like mapquest it is compiled well.

I plugged in my zip code and it went to immediately. That was impressive. It would be nice though to have a better way to zoom in (from the mouse). One thing I was looking for is to see if it has my address, which has existed for 18 months but isn’t found by mapquest. It turns out my street is there, but no names for the streets.
