Google Map Addiction

[ChrisRac]

Is anyone else addicted to Google Maps like I am? I love exploring places I've never been or haven't been in decades from my seat. If I'm reading an article about something that peaks my interest, I'll jump on GM and just look at the area.

I was looking at pics in Aleppo, Syria today and came across this. How often do you think you would come across two white guys in an ISIS-run part of a terrorist country?

I hope this link works

I do the same thing. I'll see a place on tv and try and find it in real life on google maps.

I especially like looking up places that are mentioned in Cryptome or AboveTopSecret. Those peak my interest the most.

anywhere I go, or plan to go, I check it out. Like when we were in Missouri last week. it was awesome to see where we were and what was around us.

as far as the white guys go, their probably wealthy felons that fled the country and keep isis funded in order to keep them alive

Also a fan of looking up locations before I go places. Especially fishing spots. It has changed my fishing game. Unfortunately it hasn't changed my catching game.

If I'm wealthy and trying to flee my country, the LAST place I'm going is Aleppo, Syria.

Didn't Obama's buddy Tony Rezko flee to Syria?

Not sure. But he was born in Aleppo.

Had to use it to spy on people to get the layout, departure routes, and plan a sitting spot. Comes in very handy when being creepy.

I can see that in your line of work. Surprised there's not something more up to date for y'all.

I browse places to go boating, streams and small Rivers to kayak. just crazy remote places that look interesting

I do it too. A couple weeks ago i scoped out Pyongyang when the North were boasting about going to war with the US

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

I tend to look at monuments and such. Pyramids in Egypt and things like that. Also random cities from foreign news stories especially when they have street view.

 

[Shadow99]

I like trains, so I follow tracks and see where they go. And theres a page called abandoned rails on FB, and I try to find the places they post on there.

I browse Google Maps when I'm bored. I like checking out weird shit like abandoned buildings/dealerships. And, almost always check out new places I have to visit before I head there.

This is exactly what I use it for the most...trying to find little ponds and streams, fishable areas of bigger lakes...have definitely found some decent spots that way...it failed me when I was up in Michigan a couple weekends ago...GF and I just happened across this random park with a half dozen little fishing ponds, while we were looking for a fishable spot on a large lake. Ended up with a ton of decent sized panfish and a nice 16" bass for an afternoon.

Anyone recently look up the Home Alone house? Oddly, they have it blurred out. Along with a house across the street.
