![]() Then, the pin reverted back to it's former incorrect position and, the last time I looked, it was still in the incorrect place. They emailed me a thank you and, for a few months, the pin for the church was right on the church roof in it's correct position. I actually went to the trouble of filling out and submitting the form to have this incorrectness corrected. ![]() On a similar note, there is a very prominent church that is the only thing on a little road among huge soybean and corn fields and thick woods.Ī couple miles down the road, way out in nowhere, in heavy timber, is the Google pin for the church. I would not rely on the system to accurately find somewhere as you may end up in a lake. I checked several known addresses and, of the ones that did happen to have the little numbers, about half of them are correct. I am beginning to agree that they are a weak stab at addresses. I have decided that, whatever they are, they are more of an annoyance than anything useful but then, I may change my thinking when I find out what they represent.ĭoes anyone know what these little numbers mean ? They cannot be elevations for the same reason that they cannot be house numbers, as they just make no sense at all. I first thought possibly they were house numbers but, there is no numerical advancement, nor sensible pattern to that theory, as there will be wild variances in the amount of digits, with a single digit being between 4-digit numbers and just as many 2- and 3-digits scattered within the vicinity and, just as many buildings will have no number at all - and then there is the fact that these little numbers will also be in the woods, corn fields, and lakes plus, I have compared them to known addresses and they are way off. Sometimes, whole communities, and even counties, will not have a single one anywhere and, the next town over be covered with them. Mostly, these little numbers will be on buildings but, just as often, they will be scattered in the woods or water, miles from any building. I have yet to see more than four digits that doesn't mean they are not there. I have not yet noticed this new mystery feature in Google Earth Pro however, just within the last couple days, in both view styles of Google Maps, there are tiny 1- to 4-digit black numbers scattered all around, with no rhyme nor reason to their distribution. ![]() I use Google maps, both plain flat-view and satellite-view, extensively I also use Google Earth Pro, probably more than Maps. I "Googled" this question and, as usual, it was a waste of time chasing down rabbit holes. ![]()
