50 Incredibly Cool And Weird Things On Google Earth

Here’s a compilation of 50 weird things on Google Earth and some really cool Google Earth secrets you’ve probably never seen before.

Fun fact for you day: Google Earth – once known as EarthViewer 3D — was created by KeyHole Inc, which was funded by the CIA in 2004 to create “groundbreaking” rich-mapping.

That’s correct, you can pretty much thank the CIA for Google Maps. This essential tool has made all of our lives easier in countless ways. It works by using a combination of satellite imagery, aerial photography and geographic information systems (GIS) onto a 3D Globe.

Thanks to this phenomenal technology, we’ve been able to see striking natural earth formations and man-made structures that we probably would have never been able to see before.
