I was just wondering if there was such a thing the other day... I'm guessing there's probably a website out there that's a repository for these types of things.

| Yeah, there is a site devoted to all the things Google Maps and Street view has caught. Can't think of the site off the top of my head though. |

| KayBaynPapaBear used to have a puzzle cache based on calculating the height of a jet he found on GoogleEarth above Burnsville. |
