Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.
Here's yet another world map on Google Maps, this time in what looks like a school playground, and for once the map is the right way up!
Thanks again to Kevin.

What it needs is a big “You are here” thumbtack. 😉
Who is to say what is the “right” way up? 🙂
Captain: The right way up is the same way as the Earth is… 😀
Not to be confusing, but here goes. In 1986 I made a “snow angel” at the Geographic South Pole (Not to be confused with the Ceremonial or Magnetic South Poles). Technically, both legs, both arms, and my head all pointed due north! Read about the south poles here: http://astro.uchicago.edu/cara/vtour/pole/poles/
Oh no! It seems our lovely map has been replaced by a souless baseball diamond…
