Click OpenStreetMap in the left-hand Theme list and you'll be able to get right down to street level, with road numbers, street names and plenty of other details (parking, restaurants, theatres, hotels and more). The standard satellite view only zooms in to world atlas level, but fortunately Marble has plenty of other options. Cities are highlighted, and clicking one will give you more information about it (including a tab with the relevant Wikipedia page). You can left-click and drag to rotate the planet, while spinning the mouse wheel zooms you in and out. The program opens with a view of the Earth as a globe, and navigation is initially similar to Google's offering. Marble is a cross-platform virtual globe, an open source Google Earth-like tool with a host of interesting applications.
