Google Uses PhotoShop to Hide Government Buildings?

[bondboy]

Wow, learn something new. Didn't know they have satellite maps...

Google impresses the hell out of me everytime.

ALT-Prnt Scrn and then paste it into an image editor should do it.

wish you could link them

You mean like the "Link to this page" hyperlink to the right of the map?

You get a weird feeling looking at some of those maps... like the image is tipping away from you... you start to feel like you're falling.

Some of the pictures are taken from the north, some from the south. When they're taken from the north, it gives you the impression that the picture is upside down.

Zoom in and look at the two buildings in the middle.

Of course no satellite image conversation's complete without a link to the airplane graveyard in Tucson.

looks very photoshopped indeed.

Hmmm. Enter 350 s 5th st, Minneapolis (the approximate address of our City Hall) and half of the picture is clean and clear, and half is a blurry mess (for example, you can see the Metrodome perfectly, and could count the cars in its parking lot by color if you wanted to). I don't think they chopped out the building, but I can't tell, because it's a blur. The Hennepin county gov't center, across the street (the block directly below the one the arrow points to) is a 25 story building that is either chopped, or obscured by its own shadow. All of the high-rises are in the blurry section, and I can't tell whether those are chopped or obscured by shadow either.

For some reason much of Mpls is really really blurry.

That's strangely close to the spot I picked out for use as my secret wartime bunker.

I've known about Google Maps since they came out, but i never bothered with it.

Holy sh!t it is insane though!

I wish they had a closer view of my city available, but still...amazing!

Area 51 is shown

The large dried white lake is Groom lake.

Scroll down a tiny bit and see another lake behind the mountain range. That is Papoose lake -- where Bob Lazar states UFOs are hidden underground.

The whole area is off limits and you can be shot without hesitation upon entering.
