Zooming on geographical maps

[bogari0171]

I would like to zoom to a specific location on a map, starting on a much larger geographical image (eg starting from the full image of France and ending on a small village on the cote d'azur). The zoom factor may be well over 10, it could even be 50 or more. 
Does anyone have  suggestions or already experience on this? 
What type of map would be recommended to start with? (Google earth,...?)

you can get Google earth to do a fly in & then save it as an MP4 & use that in PTE

Hi, I made a huge zoom out with PTE 11 years ago (from Manhattan to global view of Earth). 
I used several captures of Google Earth.

Thanks JIll. It sounds like a good suggestion.

Nevertheless I do not understand how I can slow down the fly in.

It seems to me to proceed automatically too fast, and I do not find any control button to control the speed in order to slow it down!

Thanks Dom

I am in line with this solution

As you can see from my last reply I am trying to understand how to control the zoom speed

Thanks Dave.

Excellent suggestion!

So I should accept the Google earth speed, and then adjust it with PTE

Jill suggested a VIDEO capture of Google Earth. 

My method was made with 5 or 6 different  IMAGE captures of Google Earth.
And I animated those captures within PTE to create the illusion : zoom out and opacity from 100 to 0 of each individual image to make the next capture appears + several animations of other objects like clouds and plane + effects like camera shaking.

Thanks Dom

I have also used in the past the same solution you are describing

It is a little painful, and I thought that new ways are now possible

Hi Claudio?

I made some zoom like here https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/242-sultanate-of-oman-a-fjord/
