50 Times People Found Bizarre But Funny Things On Google Maps And They're Just Outrageous
Let me inform you that neither Snake Island in Brazil nor the Bermuda Triangle are the most bizarre locations on Earth. It is a virtual space that distorts time and space into something that isn't even a location.
Of course, that's not how you picture Google Maps, the indispensable online mapping service that most of us rely on. Since Google Maps was introduced in 2005 and quickly rose to the top of the navigation game by providing comprehensive instructions, real-time traffic updates, and alternate routes, the world of navigation has never been the same.
Any tourist will tell you that without the app on their phone, navigating in a foreign country would be nearly impossible. Google Maps has provided a completely new genre of amusement online.
People discovered there were interesting items captured on the platform as they dug deeper into it. However, this section of Reddit named "Google Maps Shenanigans" records the bizarre events captured around the globe, demonstrating how full of weird and crazy things planet Earth is full of.
This community is "for all of the interesting, funny, or otherwise unusual things you see on Google Maps," according to the subreddit's description, so be prepared for more questions than answers. And plenty of laughs, too!

Experts caution that Google Maps may result in some privacy issues that the majority of people are totally unaware of. Additionally, Google Street cameras can take images over hedges that are intended to keep areas private because they are mounted at an elevation.
Even though people can ask to have certain portions of a photo blurred and faces and car numbers are automatically blurred, this does not imply that everyone can enjoy complete privacy.
