Hilarious Google Maps scene shows Street View cameraman traveling in strange way

JUST when you think you’ve seen it all, Google Maps is the gift that keeps on giving.

One eagle-eyed Reddit user has spotted a Google Earth camera person carrying out their job on a rather unusual mode of transport.

Google Street View was released in 2007 and has comprehensively mapped 10million miles of the world.

Whether you’re looking for directions, or just scanning a foreign city, Google Street View can incidentally reveal some quirky sights.

On Inisbofin Island in Ireland, a Google Street View camera tagged along on a tractor.

The event was captured in a shadow on a sunny road.

The camera is visible in the shadow, with its iconic stalk reaching into the air.

You can also see a bit of the tractor wheel to the right of the image.

The tractor is one of the more peculiar Google Street View vehicles but it’s not the only strange transportation device employed by the tech giant.

A snowmobile was commissioned to make the 2010 Winter Olympic sites viewable from the web.

Stone Henge, the notorious wonder of the world, was mapped on Google Street View by an off-terrain tricycle.

Google has even paid for the imaging of underwater terrain, including the Great Barrier Reef.

Perhaps we really do live on Google’s Earth.

Google Maps fandom has made its way onto TikTok.

TikToker Google Maps Fun has posted a series of clips and screenshots from around the world, which has left social media users baffled and spooked.
