You can't.

What you are viewing is only a picture. The picture was only taken so close to the earth, and to make you feel like you are zooming in, you are only enlarging a picture, so as you get closer, just like a digital zoom on a camera does, the picture quality goes way down.

Some places are higher resolution than others.

Some you can almost tell what make/model of car you are looking at,
others you can't even pick out streets or buildings.

OOPS!
Just noticed that his has already been asked and answered.

Neat!

On some screens and searches, the results are too blurry to see ANY detail. Is there some kind of adjustment or something?
