Yesterday, I reported at Search Engine Watch blog that Google added new street level details and driving directions to its European Google Maps. You can see it in action by zooming into London. You can get the idea of a before and after by zooming partially into to Moscow, notice the surrounding areas are missing the street level detail, but inner area has the detail.

Yesterday, Google also increased the resolution of some cities in the US.
