Give Google Earth a try, if you have a PC...
Unfortunately it does work on my Mac OS X laptop as it is only for Windows at the moment, so I can still use it at home.
With Google Earth you get the capability to photgraphically navigate the earth and zoom right in. Although some places have higher resolutions than others, especially when you are trying to look at bombholes in Iraq!

The building where I am working will shortly have serviced office
spaces being made available for renting. The whole block has many techonology
and Internet based companies working there and is getting to be a small
hotbed of innovative IT businesses in Bournemouth.
