Well, you can zoom in, but probably not to the level you are probably wanting. Pocket Earth is a very macro view of the whole planet. You can descend to the point that most of the UK and Europe fill the screen, but not much more than that. You should take a read through the help file that is included (hit the question mark and give it a chance) to see all the things you can do.
If you are looking for a road map of the UK, you need to look at something like TomTom, or even AutoRoute, if GPS use isn't a factor. When you do that though you are going to be stuck in the UK. You aren't going to be able to see the US, or South America, possibly not even areas in Europe.
The deal is the amount of data involved to get the detail. The macro level of the whole Earth is doable, and the micro level of UK, or other places is doable on the small PPC devices. I don't think you are going to find anything that lets you look at the Earth from space and zoom in to your block on a PPC.
