Super-Close Google Maps Zooms

Yes, it turns out that you can zoom in much more deeply onto Google Maps by doing this:

  1. Select a location and switch to satellite view
  2. Zoom in as far as you can, and click “link to this page” at the top right
  3. Now replace the “z” parameter in the URL with a higher value, e.g. 20, 22, or 23, and wait. Some locations will now show more detailed imagery

Closed Restrooms at a Tampa High School

Freedom High School officials have locked down every restroom in the school except one after swastikas, writings and other types of vandalism were discovered on the walls.
