Don't forget that because of the Mercator projection we use, a level

Helsinki).
...so someone make a Bing resolution map with 256 different levels...!
I get your point, but the single aim of this tool is to help people *get
an idea* about where high resolution imagery is available.

Helsinki at level 19:
http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=60.17150065552734~24.93957236409227&lvl=19&dir=0&sty=a
Singapore at level 20:
http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=1.3051193488899742~103.83200242146012&lvl=20&dir=0&sty=a
Note that the scale bar at the bottom of both views are practically the same.
