Created in 2021, "Seen On Maps" has attracted an impressive following of almost 250,000 people, who share a common appreciation for the quirky and surprising moments that unfold in everyday surroundings.

"I PRONOUNCE YOU FIREPAW" "COMMENCE LEADER-APPRENTICE NOSE BOOP!"
As technology connects the online world with the real world, Google Street View has become like a modern window to this mix. Launched in 2007, it started with American cities, capturing the first images of streets, landmarks, and neighborhoods. It quickly grew into a global endeavor, mapping streets and landscapes around the world.
Google Street View lets us virtually walk on streets in faraway places, check out charming areas, and even see bits of how people live around the world. It's within these digital wanderings that the team behind "Seen On Maps" has found a treasure trove of hilarity and unexpected moments.
One can stumble upon a lot of hilarious or peculiar incidents on the streets. Thanks to technology, you don’t necessarily need to leave your home to experience them. For example, in 2010, Google Street View captured a man in a horse mask in Aberdeen, Scotland in the Hardgate area of the city. This sparked various online memes and speculations.
Animals interacting with Google Street View cars have also led to some comical moments. There have been instances of curious dogs chasing the camera car, cats lounging on sidewalks, and even a camel wandering the streets of Dubai.
What do you think about these pictures? Have you ever seen something funny on the streets yourself? Every story adds a unique brushstroke to the colorful canvas of everyday life. So don't hesitate to tell yours in the comments and let the streets unfold their tales through your eyes!
They were drinking all night at the bar, there's even several pictures of them playing pool.
Years ago, a friend was transferred to England and was told that, after 5 years, he would be transferred back to Canada and given the job of someone who would retire then. Two years later, that person had a heart attack and took early retirement. They moved my friend back to Canada with all of his belongings, including his new car. His large dog would sit on what would be the driver's seat in a Canadian car. My friend frequently got stopped by the police.
My focus was on the Golden wearing a big smile & the little dog looking out the passenger side window, like “I’mma keep a look-out, pal” … too adorable! 🥰
How many times have you been told to put the hood down after you check the fluids.
Little dog to big dog: " Charlie, you could drive better than our pathetic human.." 🤣

This is very similar to one of the adapted trolleys they use at my local supermarket. Only difference is instead of the bike pedals, it has a motor.
The crash was caused when the car got distracted after it lit the filter end of the cigarette.
Gonna be stating the obvious, but this is photoshopped, not "found on google maps"
No leathers = no skin, *shudder*, but at least he's wearing a helmet ...
This post is titled wrong. It should be photoshopped things seen on google maps. There is NO way most of these are real.
of course I don't know for sure but, I think more than half of them are "real" but I also think many of them were staged in response to seeing the Google car coming.
Load More Replies...At least half of them are fake, wich makes them a much more less funny 😐
#26 isn't funny. I can't even imagine their injuries (if they're even still alive).

The problem with using "a Twitter page" as a source is half the photos are either staged or photoshopped. It's like all the "according to Reddit" articles on some sites - anyone can post anything to Twitter and Reddit, they should never be used as a source.
why do y'all think posts are fake? (serious q, am autistic. please explain)
