Post neat Google Maps finds. (Your own finds)

[Locut0s]

You have to find them yourself. No links from "strange things on Google Maps" or anything. Here are a few I'll post more in the future:

Can anyone find the giant garbage island that floats in the pacific?

Google doesn't have satellite data of the oceans, just landmasses. Considering that oceans cover 71% of the Earths surface that would be a LOT more data to add to their databases and 99.9999999999% of it would all look the same anyway, OMG it's a wave! So while it WOULD be cool to see this, I agree 100%, I doubt you ever will be able to on a map type database.

It's not literally a garbage island. You wouldn't even know you were in it if you drove a boat through it.

Yeah, I just googled it. I was expecting a giant island from the way I heard about it. I am dissapoint. No island found.

Scary, as you almost fit my old apartment on your map location.

LOL, how do you find this stuff?

That's pretty bad... The state of Nevada has some crazy stuff out in the desert, although a lot of it would be pretty tough to get to by car, or at all (restricted places), I would love to take an RV or some other long range car and explore...

I know all the tests were underground and they claim not much radiation was released but I wonder :hmm: Would be interesting to take a geiger counter on a hike through there.

if you follow the runway to the NE you see the 747 taking off in several frames

Looks like deforestation here in Brazil. D: To get an idea of the scale zoom out.

Can anyone find the giant garbage island that floats in the pacific?

no. it's not an island. It's a massive area where ocean currents and such have collected the trash. It's not really cohesive, just that trash accumulates in a rather scattered but localized region of the pacific. It's supposed to be bigger than Australia, right?

 

[Locut0s]

I guess I knew that the Falkland Islands were bare but I didn't know HOW bare!

Zoom and and look for trees.
