Thank you for this site.<p>When Google Maps just came out and blew everyone&#x27;s mind with their satellite imagery, there are plenty of online communities that focused on finding interesting spots on GMaps, and I was obsessed.<p>Unfortunately, these communities eventually died out and I never find something similar (admittedly I didn&#x27;t look too hard, so open to recommendations of similar sites).<p>This is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;googlemapsshenanigans&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;googlemapsshenanigans&#x2F;</a> , but I feel it&#x27;s way too low effort (almost nothing educational posted, people often just post the screenshot without coordinates and links, no real discussion etc.).<p>As for your awesome site, I wish there are more descriptions (some only have a title).

Love it!<p>Another fun one is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;randomstreetview.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;randomstreetview.com&#x2F;</a> . I&#x27;ve traveled the world multiple times over with that site.

There are some interesting, lesser known locations on Google Street View which I thought would be interesting to stroll around (virtually) during these times.<p>For example, one of my favourites is Battleship Island, an abandoned Japanese island which is being slowly taken back by nature.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;streetviews.earth&#x2F;@hashima-coal-mine-battleship-island-6317" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;streetviews.earth&#x2F;@hashima-coal-mine-battleship-isla...</a>

Issue: On this page[1], the view is black. When reached via PREV or NEXT, the preceding view remains, sometimes reoriented, though the text changes.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;streetviews.earth&#x2F;@coral-restoration-nursery-florida-keys-united-states-of-america-2416" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;streetviews.earth&#x2F;@coral-restoration-nursery-florida...</a>

Love it. Thanks.<p>Just one suggestion: How about a small overview map (perhaps zoomable) in one corner, so we can see where in the world we are?

I like the concept, well done. A suggestion would be to add some kind of filtering capability (e.g., see only landscapes, historical sites).

Do you know how many there are? I could scroll through this forever...
