Unfortunately for all the people who’ve wasted hours scanning the earth, this is really nothing new. There are no methods for seeing higher resolution images of your favourite area than you can see today in Google Maps and Google Earth. The confusion has developed from the recent Australia flyover and the far-from recent Africa flyover project. The result of both projects was images of a much higher resolution than elsewhere in the world - meaning there’s an extra zoom level or two in these areas and these areas only1. A lot of folk have been suggesting that we feature these “new” sights, and even though we’ve highlighted a few before I thought I’d have another look… The 500 different Megaflyover photographs included in Google Maps and Earth were selected by Mike Fay from his library of almost 92,000 images, taken from a small plane flying at low altitude. http://googlesightseeing.com/ News has spread across the internet over the last day or two of a “hack” that allows you much more zooming on Google Maps.

Certain spots in Africa like this one have super-high detail for some reason too. I would guess that they let the Google maps slider get to "only" zoom level 19 because so few areas have detail at 20+. It’s actually the same level of detail that you can get with Google Earth.
