also at 37 11'36.44"N 115 56'08.97"W theres a road that leads to a blurry spot if its just the resolution then its still strange because that means it goes to absolutely nowhere.

You can find inconsistencies like the "road trees" all over our terrain layout. Any savvy user willing to read through our field notes will realize that the satellite view is far from being a perfected technology. As for the methods we use for covering up locations...who cares? We choose to use copy/paste trees because it's quick, easy, and gets the job done. We're not about to pull out high dollar graphic designers to please the 1% of internet users who dispute what's REALLY hidden under there.
believe it or not we use this very message board to pull examples of average minded people completely neglecting the ability to use common sense and logic. You guys have actually become a common office name...often being used mockingly to point out how you can give some companies/governments enough credit to pull off the most mastermind conspiracies and in the same sentence point out how stupid they are. It's a riot!

With that said, I currently work at Google and was employed with Keyhold Corp (the satellite technology) before the acquisition. Every few weeks we have what the exec's call a Logic Workshop - believe it or not we use this very message board to pull examples of average minded people completely neglecting the ability to use common sense and logic.

In fact, you dont even need a graphics guy to do that. You need someone (presumably you) with a G.E.D. and an ability to read english. Please do not paint yourself to be highly educated just because you work for Google.

Taking a stab at my intelligence is amusing. However, I never mentioned my "education level".

I bet the economy is hitting th people that work for google maps covert hide the secret base team with crappy cut and paste jobs division AKA the CHSBTW/CCPJ have gotten a pay cut because the wonderful quality of their hide the salami jobs have been seriously getting laughable now a days.
They really expected us to believe that. I guess to the casual glancer it wouldn't get their attention.

Or even as the example in the other thread points out, clone trees over trees with out randomizing them, or atleast cloned only the "canopy" of the trees so that you can't see mis-aligned trunks everywhere your brush goes. Either way, even if the one who did them is the amateur with a GED, those have all been pretty crappy work examples by GM, sorry.
