How to Find Strange Sites With Google Earth

Finding strange sites using Google Earth is a fun way to pass time and amuse yourself and your friends. Google Earth is a terrific piece of satellite mapping software that allows you to look up locations around the globe and zoom in to view a location. Learning how to search Google Earth is simple to do.

Instructions

1. Zoom in on highly populated areas or beaches around the globe to find some strange locations on Google Earth. Because Google Earth is satellite mapping software, it is captures real-life pictures of spots around the globe. You never know what you're going to find when you search Google Earth.

2. Search in rural areas. People do strange things in rural areas. If people think they aren't being watched, they do things that you might not expect. It might be somewhat tricky to find rural areas with extremely clear and close-up pictures unless you're paying for the service.

3. Find a spot that provides clear views and start your close-up search. Use your mouse to move the picture north, south, east or west to change your position. This allows you to see oddities that might not show up immediately.

4. Bookmark any strange sites you find on Google Earth so you can share them with your friends. Once they're bookmarked, you can quickly click on the links on the left side of the page to quickly return. And don't worry, your search will probably still be there as Google Earth doesn't update the pictures very often.
