It sounds likely, though I'll look into it. David - could you give a  
lat/long for the area?

Potlatch's approach is to faithfully use the Yahoo API, to stay on  
the right side of the legal agreement. The only "tweaking" it does is  
that it tries to automatically hide the Yahoo layer if all the tiles  
are blank, because presenting a first-time mapper with a load of  
tiles saying "Sorry, there is no data for this area" is pretty  
confusing. That does therefore, I'm afraid, preclude zooming in  
beyond what Yahoo offers, but the screen magnifier suggestion is a  
good one.
