Too bad you can only zoom with the best quality in the big cities like NY, Washington, Tokyo etc..

Zoom out on the map. what are the weird semi-transperant rectangles all over the map that don't look like they should be there?

I think they show locations where you can zoom in more than usual.

Here. Actually not *too* far east of the sun-shaped symbol. ^_^

Also note: to the south of the sun-symbol is an airfield that looks somewhat similar to Area 51's.
Strange circular-shaped road with odd structures just north-east of the sun-symbol.

Interesting. :stoned:

I found some of those too. I only saw the first image when I did, so I thought they could be nuclear silos but, after seeing the closer images, I have no idea.

Yeah I thought they might have been silos or something too... but seeing them up close, they look more like some factory type thing...



EDIT: Who loves clouds?

At first I thought that sun geoglyph was in South America, but I zoomed out and it's in Nevada? That's just strange.
