A Better Google Maps Zoom
Some folks have noticed that Google Maps has a swanky new zooming control. You can now roll the mousewheel to activate it, or just double-click to zoom in one level on a particular point. This feature isn’t in the API yet, but there’s another new zoom control that’s really fabulous as well.
Andre Lewis has cooked up a classy draggable-rectangle zoom widget. Check it out on his page.
