Mercifull Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I know topics like this have been done before but this one is a bit different. what kinds of weird and wonderful things can you find on google maps. Schools that look like robots, smilie faces in mountains and maybe even yourself if its got enuf zoom quality. Hows this for an incredible pic (zoom in) There's only two flying in the entire world. What are the chances that it was flying on the same day and over the same location that google was taking a snapshot. Amazing ^_^ Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

cadburys_egg Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Thats a cool pic, good timing :P Ive got Google Earth but its resolution is so low over my general area you cant even make out my neighbourhood -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wl_daniel Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The plane pic looks like a in-game pic :? , a nice one though :D To bad my computer is to slow to handle Google Earth... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabraulter Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 My house is on a golf course, so it's easy to spot mine and the resolution is not too bad either. Except it was an old picture, and you can only see our lot...we ended up building on the lot. So Google maps hasn't updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Wow. :D That's amazing. I play around with google maps sometimes, but I hardly ever find anything interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've seen a couple of these types of names made of trees before (can't remember where the other one is though). Anyway they are pretty cool like. And to give you a better context Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google90 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 i wonder if you can find airplanes at 30000 feet on google earth http://perljam.net/google-satellite-maps/ cool things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 http://perljam.net/google-satellite-map ... __Airplane Close to Holland, above the sea. Gives a nice reflection ;) Oh, and this one: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en ... .86792&t=k It's just north of Holland, below the islands (which are still part of Holland, but anyway). Just thought that looked pretty cool. What you're seeing are sandbanks, which go dry at low tide. They might be frozen too (look at the island, which is frozen/snowed in at the sea side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracion1 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 apparently if you search rachel nevada, you can get to see area 51. Looks like a large crater next to a runway.

Barihawk Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Really sweet pics :) I wonder if I'm able to find secret military planes :shock: *opens google earth* Scour Nevada for Groom Lake Air Force Base, also known as Area 51 (although its like Area 102 now) My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

Phil Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Really sweet pics :) I wonder if I'm able to find secret military planes :shock: *opens google earth* Well there's lots of military airbases about with military planes in them. Dunno about the secret bit though. Also there's hundreds of planes (flying or not) that are pictured in google earth, it's quite amazing really. Just look near airports, you are bound to spot a few.

apinagez Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Barihalk, area 51 even has a link for it's location on that google earth section called "famous places" or something :P Secret was irony Phil :wink: Anyway, I zoomed my city airport...but resolution here is so low :? ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Secret was irony Phil :wink: I knew you weren't being serious :P But still, it would be interesting to see pics of training/test areas, but I would think that the US government wouldn't allow google to show them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk12 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Theres a stealth air plane base in Knob Noster, Mo just a little bit from here. They flew non-stop to Afghanistan in 2001 for bombing raids. Bet you can find something there. Edit: Ya heres the base: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q ... 096302&t=h Nothing really at all going on in the pic... I did'nt really look to far ahead of the run way though....

Peter Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I found this ship, looks like a cruise ship, in the San Fransisco area. Is it just me or is that a waterpark on top? There's definately a helicoptor pad in the back, and a lot of green (probably grass). Kinda cool I guess. http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ship7ja.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 960 feet long making it farily large as cruise ships go but surprisingly it only has 1 pool. Oh, yea thats not a waterpark, its a 11 meter long pool with 2 jacuzzis behind it; pretty much every cruise ship has one and most have 2 or 3.
