Odd thing found with Surls and Google Maps.

[Carl Thibodeaux]

Everyone knows the Blake Sea on Second Life Main Land.

I will be using this sim as a example: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blake%20Sea%20-%20Baltic/128/128/2

 

Basically, put that link into your url box of your browser so that you can either join secondlife or login to visit it..

 

 

As shown in the picture. 

 

Now then, you see that human like figure on side, this being Google Maps.. Let's see the street view of a random place on the SL map? Drag it over to anywhere you like.. and look what you see.. Never dreamed of Blake Sea being so beautiful in real life..

Lemme know what you find, I can assure you it's different. lol.

I understand SL is awesome and all, but is this signs of the new SL. Virtual 3D Enviroments such as this? Makes you wonder what country we are in, in the actual google maps server or this was just thrown in and no one knows about? I do not know..

That's really strange!   I had to minimise the destination guide picks to see the street view person icon.  I tried it in several location and got the same street view at all of them.  The street view shows the photographers name, looks like he lives in the US but travels a lot around the world.  I have no idea where it's from or why it's here in SL.

I tried it and got a pic of a resort with a lot of palm trees and a pool

[Jacki Silverfall]

I got the pool too. Is it real? It looks real but looks 3D too.

It's real.  You can even spot a "blurry" person in the background as you pan around and zoom in.  The same guy has pics all over the net.

Hi Gang,

 

Yes I get the same thing.  If you drag the little man icon anywhere on the map it reveals the same image.  This Jefferey Djayasuptra has a big place.  haha
