Ya Can’t Even Trust Google Anymore

to herd or not to herd: “How do I know anything on the planet that Google maps isn’t a lie?”

Google Goes Back to Pre-Katrina Maps

NEW ORLEANS — Google’s popular map portal has replaced post-Hurricane Katrina satellite imagery with pictures taken before the storm, leaving locals feeling like they’re in a time loop and even fueling suspicions of a conspiracy.

Scroll across the city and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and everything is back to normal: Marinas are filled with boats, bridges are intact and parks are filled with healthy, full-bodied trees.

Good question.

    Can we go back in time to before the U.S. began invading random countries? Or does google maps not predate that kind of thing?

    Similarly I’m working on a set of maps right now on which certain communities should be according to the documents I’m attempting to plot, but they simply do not exist on the map.
