If it's funny, strange, weird or just plain unusual - and it's on Google Maps - talk about it on this fun subreddit.

If it's funny, strange, weird or just plain unusual - and it's on Google Maps - talk about it on this fun subreddit.

Using Google Maps is not compulsory - feel free to use any map source that you want.

Rules:

  1. There must be something "odd" or interesting about the post.
  2. Either a link to the oddity, or coordinates copy/pasted in the comments or title is required. Posts that only contain a picture or screenshot will be removed.
  3. Users must not require special software to access the links (eg Google Earth, which works on Chrome only and requires an app to install on mobile). It should ideally be accessible through a web browser.

Does someone know what could be the cause for these holes and tranches? And maybe what the history behind it could be? 45.557558,26.243221 H65V+3C Gura Siriului

Unknown Ancient Buildings In Peru?

I was looking through google maps because I was bored one day and I discovered what looks to be an undiscovered ancient set of buildings in Peru. If you have any information regarding this, please let me know.

UPDATE: If you look below the site you will see a path leading to a similar location that instead of circular, is rectangular. If you once again head south, you will see a very subtle third structure.

El Paso - Miles of residential streets without a single building

31.716873, -106.147913

East of El Paso, TX there looks to be a massive area of streets built out like residential developments. I'm talking an area about the entire size of the entire city. These coordinates are just a small section. All the streets even have names. But it also looks like none of it is real. No buildings on the satellite view and if you go to streetview on the main roads there's nothing branching off. What gives?

Weird street view (looks like a dashcam filmed the road) on 32.208150, -7.987680. t may be something basic, but it's the first time I've seen it.

Please explain what possibly led to this

Open up this address, then open street view. Arrow a couple ticks up the road so you can see the drivers side of the blue Nissan. Then please explain what you think is going on.
