Google Earth glitch

Postby Binder » Sat 25 Aug, 2012 10:21 am

G'day all

If you need to kill a bit of time this morning, checkout Google Earth. There seems to be a fairly major, and highly amusing glitch when you click on the photo icons. The tags read properly but the images have nothing to do with the location. There is now apparently a Chinese border gate at Condominium Creek, a Toyota dealership on Mt Eliza and best so far, a train near Lake Oberon.

Worth a look before it gets fixed !

Cheers

There's also a restaurant and beauty parlour at Oberon. About time too!

No, that ones real. New Parks initiative to have walkers looking and feeling good before you hit the Beggaries....

Excellent, massage parlour at Haven Lake too I assume? Must check it out.

It sure has changed a lot since I last passed through that way!
