I think people know what this means:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q ... iwloc=addr
There was also an other object like this, in Belgium. But i can't find it on Google Earth

when I was on a bicycle trip last week, I saw this
http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=48.712605 ... 3&t=k&z=20
these are four 4m high walls that form a square. There are 15 cm wide gaps between each two walls, I saw some grass through these gaps, but without a camera, I couldn't see what's in the centre of the thing. Seems there's nothing in it
In the same village, I also saw a labyrinthand a triangular grass pyramid

I did zoom in as far as possible, but where can you change the tilt angle?suntzu wrote:Wanna see a strange/funny thing ... insert 20 7'38.47"S 148 54'49.30"E in the fly to in the google earth, zoom you`ll see 2 yachts, after zooming change the tilt angle

when you slide the mouse to the top right hand side 3 things will show up.
A vertical bar with symbols + and - (where you can zoom) a kompass where you can turn the map and above the kompass an horizontal bar which is called the tilt bar (which allows you to check the terrain level, usualy we use it to navigate through 3d buildings)
once you insert the coordinates, zoom it until you see the picture quite clear (not maximum zoom), level the terrain with the tilt and turn the image with the compass. Any doubt let me know through PM and if you don`t manage to see it i´ll email it to you

I think, you have another version of Google Maps, because I can't find a tilt balk (when I move or slide my mouse to the right side of the screen, there's no change). On the left side are the bars for in- and outzooming (the vertical bar), move the map (arrows down, up, left, right) en centering the map.suntzu wrote:when you slide the mouse to the top right hand side 3 things will show up.

Right-clicking (maybe you meant this) gives a menu with route-planning, in- and outzooming.
I've seen the picture you posted (thank you for showing us) and indeed it's "a bit strange".
To make clear what I meant above, you can see my screen here:

Maybe, I should visit an optician.
Now I have seen it by myself.
