Re: high res (zoom level >=3) areas definitions

i read this all the time, but for my areas testes (southern and western
france, northern italy, switzerland, austria, germany, hongkong area,
arizona, utah, thailand, and others) these are exactly the same. some
images added to GE came in later to GM (i only observed this around
Vienna) and it was only a couple of weeks later.

i am just looking for a way of checking at least points and extents i
load directly if there are tiles available. the getmaxzoom.php does a
good job and i have no problem running this a lot of times in order to
get an information about the zoom level 1/0 coverage in the areas i am
interested in.

but: i was thninking/hoping for a smarter way. google not offering this
as a service doesn't mean others should not do it or not try to.

just my EUR0.02
