Earth View from Google Earth (1 Viewer)

I don't know about you guys but I can spend hours exploring on Google Maps/Google Earth. This isn't anything unique to me or anything new, but I have a plugin for Chrome that display a Google Maps image any time I open a new tab. When you click in the globe on the bottom right it opens the map to that location.

One of my favorite things to look at are foreign military bases and also agriculture areas.

This location is particularly fascinating to me:

Boneyard in Tuscon: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.1595911,-110.8483458,3174m/data=!3m1!1e3

An astonishing amount of mothballed aircraft.

Or the sheer amount of vehicles at Fort Hood in Texas:

I can't wait until they put this stuff in 3D. We will be able to sit in our living room with goggles on that take us anywhere in the world.

 
Check out the "Street View" of the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands off the eastern coast of South America.

Cool wildlife everywhere.

 
I play around on Google Satellite a lot when I'm bored.

I'm honestly amazed at the tiny random places where people live. The most random tiny islands have small towns on them. What the heck do some of these people do? Really makes me feel for the vastness of the planet.

 
Ummm, so I just got a night time streetview of some country road in Sweden. How the F does streetview of farmland at night help anybody?

 
It's takes some effort, but I like to zoom into the 500 foot scale view into some random location and then start moving along in increments of a few hundred feet, and see how long it takes me to figure out where I am. I try to avoid reading the town names because those are hints I don't want.

Take that, Les Stroud.
