Can you be more specific? I can use the "Terraserver Urban" imagery down to 
the 25m zoom level, but only in some urban areas (not the area I'm 
currently working on). The "Terraserver aerial" imagery won't load below 
100m zoom level, and is too low-res to be useful for detailed mapping. Are 
you saying there's another source of 25m zoom imagery, or a way to get the 
imagery that Yahoo uses, other than through Yahoo?
