When we use Google Maps, we usually have an idea of what we’re looking for. Directions to your favorite pizza place from your home, where your best friend’s new apartment is, how long you’ll be sitting in traffic when driving home from work, or which bus route will get you to that concert fastest. But have you ever spent time on Google Maps purely exploring? According to one online group, you might be surprised by what you’d find…
We took a trip to the Google Maps Oddities subreddit and discovered that there are many bizarre treasures just waiting to be discovered on this famous map platform. So enjoy scrolling through these pics that might inspire you to go treasure hunting on Google Maps, and be sure to upvote the ones that you find most surprising!
