Some Google Maps Attractions and Oddities with Their Coordinates

Google Earth

When boredom strikes, I always look in the internet for something that I haven't really tried before. The usual blog hopping and Youtubing sometimes add up to my already boring moments. I try to look for ideas that may seem interactive and viola I stumbled upon Google Maps scenery hunting and what I have discovered is really out of the ordinary.

Google Maps has been around for ages and from time to time I used it to find directions from one place to another. But this time, equipped with some coordinates provided by some online folks, I looked around for oddities over the map that might not only interest me, but my friends as well. So here's a serving of Google Maps attractions and oddities for you.

Explore Google Maps and see for your self these out-of-the-blue oddities:

Even without having to leave your home, only having the right gadget and the right sources, you could definitely explore the world. Earth is a huge place to explore, so I have a reason to believe there are other Google Maps attractions and oddities still that are not included in this list. Look for some other places over Google Maps and if you find one would you let me know.
