But only those who took the time to zoom in and get a closer look have been able to reveal them. In the list below, we gathered some of the most interesting things found while roaming the streets on Google Maps, as shared by the members of the Google Maps Shenanigans subreddit. Scroll down to see them for yourself, and don’t forget to upvote the most unexplainable ones!

In 2019, its creators had a chat with The Next Web and told them a bit about how this community was created.
“I was reading through the comments of a post where people were wishing for a subreddit about funny things found with Google Maps, and the name r/googlemapsshenanigans was thrown out by someone,” the subreddit’s founder, slash23579, told TNW. “I loved the idea so I decided to create the subreddit.”

My bus into town was on this route. So frustrating . Bus would always have to stop and had to give way to pedestrians , firstly it’s a pedestrian crossing so he couldn’t honk horn, all the tourists endless photos , ON said pedestrian crossing ,so they had right of way , graffiti in the walls. As I said , our bus just drove over it, it’s literally just white stripes on a road. Weird it’s a thing.

The founder attributes the popularity of this subreddit to another fellow Reddit community, r/funny, which was kind enough to share one of their posts with their members.
“Since then, though, Google Maps Shenanigans has found itself on Reddit’s trending section on a number of occasions—including with this post showing a man frozen in time as he’s about to fall off some stairs.”
“I feel this post is singlehandedly responsible for putting this subreddit in the public eye,” adds AeroGlass. “That image was submitted and made it near the top of /r/All (the community it was on was /r/funny, I think). This subreddit was linked by someone in that thread, and the next day it was one of Reddit’s featured communities for the day.”

The map got torn, you see, so the clever photographer cut out a piece of canvas, painted it green, and Photo-chopped it into the torn area.

Ahaigh9877:
Google Maps likes to offer different routes, which is fine at the beginning of a journey, you can choose one (it could tell you which is more scenic, but I guess that's a lot to ask from something that's only been in development for a few thousand years), but that's okay.
But once I've chosen my route, Google Maps you absolute bastard, please do not re-route me on a f*****g whim, even if a little "I'm going to re-route you unless you tell me to stop" box appears on the screen for a bit. Don't f**king do that please Google Maps.

Is There A Reason Why This Random Part Of Sweden Has Poisoned Gas Instead Of Air?
Antique-Tone-1145:
It’s a reoccurring problem around this time of year and around the end of November, ie the periods where winter tyres, usually studded, start being required but when the roads in town aren’t necessarily covered in ice and snow, meaning the studded tyres tear up the streets and release very harmful particles in the air. It’s a common problem in other Swedish cities, and for example in Stockholm they’ve banned studded tyres from the worst affected roads. That’s not necessarily possible in Östersund though because when it does snow and the roads are icy studded tyres are a necessity for safety reasons.

Of course they do. Where do you think the tread goes when your tire wears out? You think it magically disappears? Little bits of rubber fall off and smaller bits get in the air.

First, those are not Teslas. There are a bunch of Teslas, but most of them are random cars. Being really close to LAX, am pretty sure that's an illegal airport parking lot or a temporary storage for rentals. People drop their car and keys at an actual parking close to the airport, and the cars staying long term are moved to this other lot for extra storage. It's super common. There is a similar, larger lot just to the left.

They're low-lying piles of sand and rocks. The global heating crisis means sea levels are rising inexorably along with temperatures. I suspect they'll become uninhabitable due to excessive heat and once abandoned, rising sea levels and natural erosion will destroy them as the global environment worsens. We're causing a mass extinction event right now. It could be that the algae ceases to be a problem because the water will become too hot for such life to survive. Life on Earth will flourish again in the far future, but us humans might have caused our own extinction by then.

Found This On Google Earth Its In The Middle Of The Afsluitdijk
Andrea Steinacher 2 months ago
In 1863, Étienne Lenoir drove his "Hippomobile" 18 km; it was the first vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The Taylor Steam Buggy of 1867, with its two-cylinder steam engine, reached a top speed of 24 km/h and is considered the oldest Canadian automobile. However, the year 1886, with the "Benz Patent-Motorwagen Number 1" motor tricycle by the German inventor Carl Benz, is considered the birth year of the "modern" internal combustion engine automobile, as it garnered significant media attention and led to mass production. However, there was cargo freighting with horse drawn carriages since the wheel was invented - or how, do you think, did people in Northern Europe get wine from Italy for example?

The third person is on the other side of the car. You can barely see him in this picture, but when you go back one picture in the linked street view, you can see him better.

Can Someone Explain What The Heck This Is? I Have No Idea And Never Saw Something Like This Before
Ziginox:
It's the sun reflecting off of a skylight, greenhouse, or other shiny surface.
Robert Trebor 7 months ago
Looks like the glass roof of a greenhouse or sunporch. It's in Warnemunde, near Rostock, in Germany, on the Baltic.

Could it be a statue? I would guess one of those mirrors that direct the sunlight onto solar panels, but those aren't placed in the middle of a city
Robert T 7 months ago
I would have guessed at it being a solar panel doing the reflecting. If you've ever looked out of a plane window, you'll see how many bright points there are flying of residential areas.

Why?
cheesenachos12:
Real answer is that the road was not designated as a one way in Google maps, so it just takes the shorter route. Or it was the wrong way.
Not-a-Clue (she/her) 7 months ago
This totally confused me, because it's going the right way round if you're in the UK (which I am, but the roundabout clearly isn't.)

Yeah I think everyone is misunderstanding what it is. I'm guessing there was a quarry here, and then later the buildings were built

Who The Hell Driving This Unconventional Vehicle

Those are pretty common to see in farm areas in the US. It sucks to get stuck behind one.

I lived in a very rural area for over 10 years. These are such a pain to be stuck behind. This and combines. They will guarantee you are late for work.

That’s what happens to the cameras in a low light environment. They kept rolling a little too close to sunset.

Digital noise due to insufficient light. If you convert to black and white (aka grayscale) it won't look as weird.

Why Does Dubai, A Highly Developed City, Not Have 3D Google Earth Imagery?
John_EightThirtyTwo:
I'm always intrigued by the fact that some parts of the world have 3D imagery in Google Maps, and others don't. In the latter places, you can go into the 3D mode and pan and zoom around, but you're moving around over features that appear painted onto a flat world.
I know that some of the imagery is from satellites and some from aircraft that fly up and down across a grid over the landscape. I imagine that the 3D feature requires both the latter, more-detailed images and also a bunch of back-end computation at Google. Is that right? Has Google published any info about the process?

I was using Google maps to find the most direct route to a small beach on the Greek island of Patmos. It took me through a freakin' drainage ditch that got increasingly packed with plants but had increasingly steep walls. I finally found a place to climb out. I got permission from the homeowner where I climbed out, to go through her yard to the road. She was watching me, with great confusion, trying to figure out why I was in the ditch in the first place. We had a nice chat...
