Go here in google maps (lat/lon)... 38.265877,105.950453 I always find this really strange, it is a 1:500 scale model of an area of land built next to a Chinese military base.

The USS Rancocas, landlocked commissioned US Naval vessel. Visible from 295 (not on street view though, there was a UPS truck in the way). When the corn is growing you can take people around it to confuse them (anyone that drives by there at all is used to it). Image taken from one of the side country roads. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q=uss+rancocas&mkt=en-US&FORM=BYFD

jagdtiger00 posted:Yeah I would have never guessed correctly if it wasn't labeled. Is the half glass dome over the actual launch silo? Having been there this past year, yes, the glass portion is looking down into the silo. The actual silo cover you see with the hydraulic pistons is permanently welded half-open, which was part of showing the soviets that it really had been decommissioned and was unusable. Other sites were destroyed with high explosives and left open for spy satellites to view for a time. It's a neat place to visit.

Mongoloid Joe posted:The man made Palm Islands in Dubai are pretty awesome to look at and zoom in on. I can't find it now, but somewhere nearby, I'm guessing one of the developers for that had spelled out the name of their company in the sandy area offshore in huge letters. Still, looking around there you can see all these straight line channels and other strange designs in the sand. It's pretty cool.

Stupid question: Why is 'Area 51' completely visible in full detail on Google maps when so many other gov't and military installations are blurred out? Isn't it supposed to be a seeeeeeecret. I don't know, call me silly.

Isn't it supposed to be a seeeeeeecret. I don't know, call me silly. Because its probably just an airbase now and anything secret that did happen there has been moved to other facilities.

It's actually half blocked because of treaty obligations. You can see the rectangles to the left of the half-blocked opening on the tracks? Those are concrete blocks to prevent the lid from opening all the way. ComradeCosmobot fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Dec 2, 2010 |

This is supposedly where the UK's nuclear warheads are assembled/dissembled. This is where they load them onto the submarines if you look around, you can see the storage bunkers, the loading quay, etc. creepily fascinating.

This bing bird's eye stuff is really neat. Especially that you can change the orientation of the view, and all that. I can't wait till they fly over Dubai again and we get a nice new view of the Burj Khalifa, it's going to look great.

If you type something as generic as "USA" as one of the terms in a Google Maps directions search, does it place the point at a place you have searched for maps before? I guess what I'm asking is, when you put "USA" into your directions search, where did it have as your starting location, as in, where in the U.S. exactly?
