This is Google Maps. One of the navigation problems I frequently encounter when I use Google Maps is zooming. Zooming can be sometimes confusing and you can get lost in it particularly when zooming in to view a more accurate location. For example, if I am looking at San Francisco from a very general far away view and I slowly zoom in on it to get a picture of San Francisco, I find myself constantly moving around instead of focusing on one spot. When you zoom in, your area of interest shifts around the screen as you click on it. While the name 'San Francisco' might originally be on the left on your screen then you click in to zoom in, it moves a few inches here and there as the pictures get larger or come into place instead of focusing on one spot and enlarging that area while having the location name stay in position. Sometimes, when viewing something so detailed that you want to click in and get more of a focus, the clicking option can get a little tricky because the mouse does not highlight what your mouse is resting on or selecting so you are not really that sure that you are clicking on the area that you want.
