Online Maps Share Same Zoom Levels

David Janes: “Did you know that Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and Virtual Earth all use the same map tile resolutions? That is, you can actually seamlessly switch between mapping systems and have everything line up exactly the same way.” Examples provided. Google has one wider zoom than the others; Yahoo lacks the two closest levels of Google and Virtual Earth. Via Global Nerdy.
