Google Maps should have its own forum its so cool

[twolow]

I have looked at so much stuff its just mind boggling. I've looked at the white house, ground zero, the pentagon, my house, Andrews AFB (wanted to see AF1) etc but then i saw this B2 and it was just weird to see.

There are probably countless 'cool' things to look at that I don't know how to find. Mount Rushmore for example and where is Area 51? I found the Mojave Airport with all the civilian graveyard planes but where is the military graveyard with all the bombers and stuff?

If any of you use this program and find some stuff to look at feel free to post here as I am just addicted to the program :help:

[twolow]

Man, after looking closer I saw a f117, U2, and SR71 there

...and where is Area 51? :help:
Just find Area 50 and then geradeaus und dann links !!! :rofl:

Cool baby
You live in a b2 bomber? :P

Once you have the sight locked on and you want to send a link click 'link to this page' and the address bar will change to reflect the new position. otherwise the link goes some place else, in this case a B2 bomber.

I wouldnt mind owning a B-2. Anyone like BBQ - Nuke style?

[dwasson]

A lot of the military bases are not viewable at high res. But you can see the B2 at the factory in Palmdale CA.

[rocknrod]

If you think Google Maps is cool, you should download Google Earth. It is unbelievable and they do have their own forum.

Ryan, if you go to the Art Bell website, and do a search on Area 51 he gives the lat/lon for a weird grid out there. Just cut & paste the coordinates and it hits the target. Then go out to about 10,000 feet and start searching for stuff. I tilted the map and was down on the deck, driving all over the place. It's a wonder the "Cammo Dudes" didn't show up. :nono:

[dwasson]

Yeah but the real secret stuff is in Area 52.

note the very long shadow denoting a building of great height!

[Petrograde]

Area 51 is in the 'back 40' of Nellis AFB,

[Petrograde]

... hehe,.. try moving to the right,.. it gets all blotched up,.. super secret stuff there i guess.

[NPG's Marauder]

Cool sure i can see my place but however, the map shows the photo of my area is more than 3 or 4 years ago!! is there a way for a latest photo version? just cruious!! anyone?

[twolow]

My area appears to be about a year or maybe 2 old. Different areas are dated at different times.

Probably takes years to map out all that land with such detailed pics.

[dwasson]

is there a way for a latest photo version? just cruious!! anyone?

Yeah there is, but not for free. Now if you can get hired by the NSA ... and get into the "Technical Intelligence" office ... and retask a satellite ... and not get caught ...
