That's closer to what I wanted. 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.

I'd like a zoom box. The other sites I think let you click anywhere on the map and it centers that.

I've mentioned it to them through their feedback link, and I guess we'll see ...

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. That is cool.

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. I plugged in my zip code and it went to immediately. That was impressive.
