Depends on the area that the satellite is photographing. Some areas can be zoomed into much more than others. Once you get to the maximum zoom, it will tell you the maximum has been obtained. Real good program, used it a few times too. Here in the 'peg I can see my house, trailer etc, but not zoomed enough to really get in close. I'ts actually a little scary when you think of other possible uses for the system.

The demo version (free version) wont zoom in as clear as the Pro version. You almost better off using Google Map than the demo version.

You may be zoomed in too close. I know if I zoom in too close mine will get blurry.

The resolution seems to vary a lot on the version I have.I can find my house and see the cars in the driveway but if you look at some rural areas near Regina it is quite blurry.

It isn't real time.

My neighbours truck is parked on the street but he sold that years ago.
Plus there was a new house built on the corner about the same time.

I`ve noticed that these maps are at least 3-4 years old. A lot of new changes in the neighbourhood aren`t on yet.
