You’re either behind the power curve or trolling, eh?
Other non derp search engines show it’s not a tennis court.

No, not trolling. I noticed some time ago that Google maps changed their satellite view to include clearly manipulated images of the landscape that looked distorted and unreal (algorithm?)

The Apple satellite map view that I linked in my post is quite different than Google’s view of the same spot (tennis court) and looks like a realistic aerial view with standard tall chain link fencing around the court.

Where does Apple get their satellite view? I don’t know. Maybe the USGS map will show it. I noticed someone posted up thread a close up photo of another spot on the island that seemed more detailed and was marked USGS.

Also, I’m interested in your “Other non derp search engines show it’s not a tennis court” comment. Maybe I missed that part. What are the search engines with better satellite mapping?

I try to read every comment and follow the links but I admit that sometimes I need to just skip ahead due to the fact that our Q threads are still over inflated with a lot of non-informative posts. I’m sure I’ve already read hundreds of thousands of comments looking for gems of information since the start of Q coverage on FR.
