The Google Maps Flâneur
To come inwards Random Google Maps is to undertake a journeying through the labyrinthine streets in addition to hidden spaces of the map. It is an immersion inwards the hugger-mugger linguistic communication of the map; it is to encounter the map, to hold upwards at the view of the map, in addition to yet to e'er rest hidden from the map1.
Sorry - I got lost for a minute there. Actually Random Google Maps is an animated journeying through random locations on Google Maps, alongside each novel place decorated inwards a random Google Maps style. Just burn downwards upwards Random Google Maps in addition to sit down dorsum every bit the application takes y'all through an ever changing landscape of random locations presented inwards ever changing random colors.
If y'all accept a footling altitude at the JavaScript behind Random Google Maps y'all volition discover that the locations aren't actually that random at all. The map picks from 26 locations to a greater extent than or less the Blue Planet at random in addition to and hence applies random colors to a give away of the map features.
It's nevertheless a fun footling map though.
