It would help if you gave the scale for your maximum zoom, and what map set 
and view you use: not all map sets provide the same level of detail.

Because I'm surprised you cannot zoom deep enough, I found that the deepest 
zoom was often _too_ deep:
- with OpenstreetMap I can zoom down to a view covering ~250 m (scale bar 
shows 40 m per black+white unit) 
- Google maps goes down to a scale unit of 2 m in roadmap (similar to 
OpenStreetMap), 5 m in satellite view. 
And that's about what I get on maps.google.com as well. 

Note that if you use atlas view, the deepest zoom is a lot less.

Oh, and this is not something the Digikam developers can do anything about, as 
the map display and such is handled by the KDE Marble library (https://
marble.kde.org/). And Marble depends on what maps and detail level are 
available in a given map set.
