    I'd like to see more GV zoom options, reflecting the North American patterns of population.

    One I'd like to suggest:

    A point centred more or less on London, Ont. and about 30% of the way up the zoom bar gets New England, New York State, southern Ontario, the Montreal area, New York, Pennsylvania, DC and most of the Midwest.

    You know you can move it (and zoom) wherever you want right? Or are you talking about the drop-down of the preset locations?

    I'm talking about the preset locations. This does imply a certain laziness on my part, I admit.

    It would be zoom value=11

    The problem with adding zoom locations that are less generic is then other users are going to start requesting their own personal locations... then you end up with a drop-down list with hundreds or thousands of items in it, and it becomes easier to do it manually vs. finding your entry in the drop-down list...
