Ah, the ever elusive lateral biplane. Only able to be created by the software engineers at google that can't merge 2 pictures together properly :lol: !
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Lol, if you search it with DuckDuckGo, it takes you to Antarctica.

In all seriousness, any other pilots on the boards here?

Yeah, but even if you switch over the provider to Google Maps, it literally shows the same place. I kept zooming into nothing but white thinking that it was a really tiny plane. And then I went to actual Google.

Nice. I'm just a PP building time at the moment, flying for pleasure; ASEL with complex and high perf. Getting the instrument rating is next on the list but... the house comes first. :)

What's your favorite set of wings to fly? I personally really enjoy the C210.

How did you mean by this "switch over the *provider" "? I just go directly to the www.google.com then go and click, hover over 9 squares logo to bring up selections (near upper right corner) then select google's "maps".

If you go and search those coordinates with DuckDuckGo.com, then click on the map that comes up, there's an option to choose between Bing Maps, Google Maps, HERE maps, and OpenStreet Maps on the bottom right.
