We're talking about the super zoom capabilities of Google's "Street View" choice available in Google maps for some cities.  Boise, by the way, has been mapped with Street View technology and now you can literally drive around Boise and grab, rotate, and move the map window along the same pathway the car/van that Google employed to snap pictures to get around the city.
