Google Maps - Firefox in Field

Suggested by: Da G, 29 Nov 2006 | Print version

Go to the following Google Maps coordinance link:

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=16&ll=45.123785,-123.113962&spn=0.012112,0.024097&t=h

At the last satellite capture, this shows the Firefox logo etched into a field of corn.

its FX 3 not FXO -- Wayne, Jun 21 2009 5:29AM

Those people are doing it wrong. They spelt FOX wrong... FXO... -- /facepalm, Sep 8 2008 6:56AM

It's called geohashing, I believe, and it was partially inspired by the webcomic, xkcd -- John D'oh!, Sep 1 2008 6:39PM

You can find int on google earto here 45� 7'25.87"N 123� 6'48.97"W -- Federico, Jul 1 2008 2:48PM

yeah, and just to the east of the F X it seems to be some people lying on the floor, or maybe it's just some manikins, i don't know... VERY NICE! PRETTY COOL xD -- Rui, Jun 23 2008 4:06PM

There's also a question mark of people (not very discernable) after the 'f' and 'x'. -- Tedd, Oct 18 2007 4:43AM

This isn't an easter egg, by the way, it's a real crop circle. See http://lug.oregonstate.edu/index.php/Projects/Firefox/Firefox_Circle -- GP, Jun 20 2007 9:01AM

That's cool. Someone in Google surely got fired. -- Robot6, Apr 27 2007 12:55PM

The small plane and cars just south of the logo are arranged in an "F X" pattern. -- CP, Jan 23 2007 3:43PM
