You now use an 'Enhanced Zoom' option (with the 1:2500 and 1:10560 maps), which opens up a different type of view. This option has an incredible zoom capability (e.g. you can zoom in to the extent that you can only see the O & R of 'GEORGE SQUARE') and the image quality retains its sharpness even at levels approaching maximum zoom. The panning functionality has also been greatly improved and you can now have the choice of drag & drop or using directional buttons.
When using the Enhanced Zoom option you can improve things even further by choosing to go to Full Screen View so you can see a larger area of the map.
