I couldn't find my house though, it seemed to be swallowed by my neighbours, but that may be the result of the max zoomlevel. Any reason that one can not zoom in further?

These systems generally use prerendered PNG tiles at several zoom levels - it's not vector based.

When you click on a house, the click is converted to lat/lon and compared with the database to show which house you clicked.
