| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 08:17:34 | Traffic Jam! | Whichever it was, it's now gone after the latest update |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 08:02:54 | Crop Maze - CA | Gone in latest update |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 07:59:46 | Adventure Sports maze | Maze is gone in latest update |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 07:56:26 | Labyrinth in Versailles ? | Maze still there, but season has changed. Needs new thumbnail |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 07:47:58 | Javier Prado's Highway under construction | Now completed after latest update |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-04-28 07:47:00 | Italian roadbuilding | Now completed |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-02-14 14:19:31 | Tennessee State Capitol | A quick count. There are 52 items in the Government -> State category, and I count 17 that are not US State capitols. So that would leave 35 that we have, and thus 15 to go. |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-01-26 12:05:31 | Plane shaped shadow near The Boneyard | Indeed. With the new level of detail availible, you can see the towe itself at the foot of the shadow. I'm going to update the title. |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-01-25 14:57:21 | Baltic ferry | So, Hinkkanen, by your comments on my other, it looks like these are likely ferries as well. Correct?
|
| TexasAndroid | 2006-01-25 14:40:25 | Cruise ship docked in Lisbon | Not the same ship, but there is now a new cruise ship docked a little ways down the dock to the West. I've updated the link, and the thumbnail needs to be updated in the near future. |
| TexasAndroid | 2006-01-25 14:32:40 | USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) | There is, however, a carrier just to the north of this location now. Is this the moved Stennis, or a different vessel? |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-21 13:03:44 | Tennis court community | Shrug. I see it as improving the content of the site, no matter where the maps originated. That's the key in the end. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-21 12:42:35 | Tennis court community | Annnnnnnnnnd??????
Since the sites (GS, GGT, and Perljam) began, maps have flowed back and forth. Things posted here get reposted there. Things posted there get reposted here. It... |

I know a few years back they had something over 6,000 total, worldwide. Likely a bit more than that now. As for how many are in... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-16 09:52:02 | Monster Garage | I've added a link to the show's web page as the more info link. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-15 12:29:58 | China State Theater | Thanks. I've updated the entry |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-14 14:17:05 | Line of craters | I was thinking that there might have been a road at the location of the bomb line, before the bombing, so that could explain what they were targeting. I have no good counter to your comment about... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-05 09:51:47 | Aquaculture | Basically it's farming (algae/seaweed) or ranching (fish/shrip/oysters), except done in the water. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-11-02 08:08:48 | MGM Grand Hotel/Casino | Map #10,000! Wheeeeeee!!!! |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-10-05 08:37:07 | North Korean anti-aircraft artillery battery | Sorry. HTML was being abused by comment spammers, and had the potential for even worse mischeif, so it was disabled a while back. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-09-29 06:13:17 | Concert in Golden Gate Park | Google Earth, or Google Maps? I just checked GMaps, and the crowds are still there. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-09-04 08:56:03 | Jackson Barracks Military Museum Airpark (Flooded) | Actually, there was an air museum very close to this spot. I suspect those are planes from the museum, not in flight. Still a nice catch.
The museum's entry:

| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-29 08:50:04 | Quarter cloud over Zagreb | It can if it's cut off by other images. We've seen plenty of other places where the images transition rather abruptly. The season changes are examples of similar "time stitching". |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-29 06:13:03 | Weird thing over Via Veneto | It's a lense flare of some sort. I've seen a few of them around. I like to think of them as "Google Icicles". :) |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-28 16:13:26 | Floating man - Swim pontoon | Please. I have no idea what blog you are referring to. If there's a Google blog that explains this, post the link by all means. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-26 06:13:38 | Komodo: Dragonskeep | That category is supposed to be for visible animals, not just places where animals are known to live. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-24 15:49:57 | Arabic text on reservoir dam | According to Perljam, it's the motto of the Kingdom of Morocco:
"GOD, THE COUNTRY, THE KING" |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-24 15:30:49 | Concorde, NYC | Looks to be still there in Google Maps. Are you using Google Earth to see it? That could be it, as there are definite time differences in many places between GM and GE. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-22 13:39:36 | Härdangerjøkulen Glacier | LOL. The automatic category generation software strikes. :) If you look closely at your title, you can find the word "plane" hidden in there. That's where the airplane category came from. |

Harvey the Wonder Hamster
He doesn't bite and he doesn't squeal
He just runs around on his hamster wheel

| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-10 08:27:57 | Bam Margera's House | Comments have been closed off for this map. The discussion of whether this is or is not Bam's house has been going in circles for some time, getting nowhere. Between that and the fact that we still... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-10 06:10:04 | Giant Devil Ray | I didn't make up anything. I found this item on another site, and they were calling it a devil ray there. Whether it is or is not a devil ray may be up for debate, but at the very least, I didn't... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-05 09:45:04 | San Giorgio-class amphibious assault ship | Could you post a link to the ship you beleive to be the Giuseppe Garibaldi? I'd like to compare them. Given the time differences in when pictures are taken, it's entirely possible for the same ship... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-05 08:43:31 | Malibu Grand Prix - no more | The MGP web site I located to include in with the San Antonio location listed the San Antonio location (Malibu Castle) as the only MGP still in operation in Texas. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-08-03 14:44:23 | Unfinished residential development | If you look to the East and Northeast, you'll see a couple of residential developments laid out in a similar land/sea arrangement. My guess this is a third development that never got finished. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-29 16:02:56 | CL-13L Nike Missile site | I removed the Missile category. Think that'll cut down on the cunfusion a little? :) |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-27 16:08:40 | Packaging tape in Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan | Certainly looks like another example of the stuff to me.
Also interesting, from Google Sightseeing, is the following quote about the tape instances:... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-25 12:50:55 | Swimming pool with scimitar shape | I can't speak to the type of sword, but on the issue of copying.....
ROTFL!!!!!!!!
Check the dates please. This one was submitted here first by a good 3 weeks. :)... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-25 10:42:54 | Map Distortion example (Fixed by Google) | As of 7/25, Google has fixed all their calculations to correct the horizontal stretching. Moved this to the Updated category. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-22 13:30:51 | Great Wall of China | Updated the map URL from the Sightseeing link provided. Thanks! |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-21 14:59:16 | Rocky Shoals | I would guess that it's a rocky shoal of some sort. There are a few more, similar, spots just to the northeast of the spot. Not impossible that it's a ship, but I'm doubtful. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-21 10:00:45 | Tycho Crater | I adjusted it. Managers have edit capability to the link text with no validation. But... with great power comes great responsibility. :)
And we're still debating whether to add... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-20 07:39:05 | Detroit Zoological Park | Fixed. Can't fix the thumbnail currently. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-19 16:05:39 | Seabrook Nuclear Station | Sorry. It's gone on this end. If you post it in a comment, I'll gladly add it in here. Sorry again. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-18 20:31:59 | Seabrook Nuclear Station | Moved your commets here. Sorry. In general, the first submitted map on a location stays. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-18 13:34:16 | Ardenwood Historic Farm | Might or might not still be. Crop mazes are seasonal things. So just because there was a maze at this location with the last couple of years, doesn't mean it's still a maze now. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-15 15:50:45 | Morón Air Base | The thumbnail focuses a bit to the East of where the map centers. Still visible on the map, though. It's showing the edge of the white road structure just over the photo boundry. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-14 10:41:51 | High Resolution Sea | Scanning the area, the only thing I can find in it is one small boat at:

| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-13 22:04:54 | (UFO) Unidentified Flying Orb | Do check out the discussion in the More Info link. Just about every possibility is covered over on Google Sightseeing. It's definitely not something on the ground, because there are a bunch of... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-13 14:16:50 | Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet | Nope. They are maintained and kept for a variety of purposes. Spare parts for other ships. Sale to foreign nations. Weapons testing. (Take out a real ship to deep waters and see how a new weapon... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-12 16:42:30 | Airplane over Germany with contrails | Like a lot of the stuff I personally enter, it's not originally my find. This one came out of one of the comments treads on Google Sightseeing. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-12 14:53:17 | Floating man - Swim pontoon | My guess is either a inflated figure of some sort or it's got nothing to do with a humanoid figure, it just happens to look like one from above. A floating dock with several lines sticking out, etc. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-12 13:54:38 | Airplane - SR-71 | Ok. We have a definitive answer.

For another, similar, "Cable Cut". |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-11 18:19:56 | Unknown platform in the Adriatic | My first, mostly instinctive guess, is that it's an offshore oil rig. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-11 12:59:38 | USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) | Ok. As I put in the comments when I posted the entry, I suspected that's what it was. I'll go ahead and label it as such until/unless I hear otherwise. :) |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-11 10:11:22 | Weird Lake (Cracked Ice?) | This one is borderline, but I'm inclined to leave it. The first submission was a wide view of the time differential. Half frozen/Half unfrozen.
The second is a close up focus on the... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-11 06:28:51 | Log Raft | Did that last comment get stuck to the wrong map? |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-11 06:28:03 | Invisible Planes North of DFW Airport | Not sure what you mean by "Same terrain tweice". What is duplicated is a moving object, another plane, not the terrain. In each case of a duplicated plane the plane was likely moving at a close... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-10 21:56:23 | Invisible Planes North of DFW Airport | These are almost certainly shadows of that same plane. The plane can be seen three times total, and the shadow five times. The planes look identical, and planes don't take off *that* closely... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-09 09:13:01 | Spanish Air Force Facility at Gran Canaria International Airport | Name seems very generic to me. Is it's name actually "Spanish Air Force Facility", or does it have a more... distinctive name. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-08 23:23:19 | Memorial Stadium at University of Nebraska | You originally submitted it as both, I beleive. At the least, submitting it with the thumbnail focused on the stadium draws the focus to the stadium.
Anyway, since we cannot change... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-08 23:11:49 | Jacob's Field | darkhorse219? If you could submit a separate one for the Gund, we can then have them split. Thanks. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-08 11:00:01 | Fazendinha | Ok. Enough "Best/worst Stadium" comments, whatever the language. There are places for that type of stuff. This board is not one of them. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-08 08:41:53 | Airplane approaching LAX (757) | Nice catch. Not an easy one to spot, so it's no wonder noone's found it before. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-07 13:24:58 | Morumbi Stadium | Ok. Enough "Best Stadium" comments, whatever the language. There are places for that type of stuff. This board is not one of them. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-07 13:23:24 | Parque Antárctica | Ok. Enough "Best Stadium" comments, whatever the language. There are places for that type of stuff. This board is not one of them. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-07 13:19:26 | Bam Margera's House | Ok. I've pruned out all the old comments about Bam's address as well as a number of other old, garbage comments. I left only the one comment from MrSeaBass stateing he might give out the address if... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-06 13:10:27 | La Villita | Heh. I can actually identify this one, living right there in San Antonio.
The building is the La Villita Assembly Hall. La Villita is an area of shops and restaurants located on one... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-06 07:50:39 | Water tower with neat shadow | It does look like a CD to me. With a definite shadow. Hard to tell if it's something physically at that location, or sitting on the image when it was photographed. (Like the packing tape and... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-04 09:27:26 | Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark | Separate entries submitted |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-04 09:23:32 | High Resolution Sea | The question as to why the heck it's in high resolution still stands. :) |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-07-02 10:59:30 | Ostankino TV Tower | Just standing around? :) |

| TexasAndroid | 2005-06-27 13:31:47 | Post-It note on Thailand? | Ok. Packing tape was one thing, but Post-It notes? I have now officially seen it all.
ROTFL!!!!!!!! |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-06-25 13:05:59 | Bam Margera's House | OK. Enough is enough. Publically posting of private address crosses the line. This thread has been bothering me for a while, but I couldn't justify to myself shutting it down. Now I can... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-06-24 16:53:36 | Streak in the Lybian desert | My guess is that, yes, they are related. This one fades out to the right in a similar way to how the more obvious Tape entries faded. (To the left it's cut off by a map edge.) The others were over... |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-06-23 14:58:33 | Red Square | Are The Kremlin and Red Square not different things? We have other examples of fairly close maps that are not showing exaxtly the same thing. |
| TexasAndroid | 2005-05-27 16:35:24 | (UFO) Unidentified Flying Orb | Extensive, and I do mean extensive, analysys of these "UFO"s has been going on at another G-maps site. There are a bunch in Florida, and another bunch in LA. The prevailing opinion appears to be... |
