Zoom in on the north pole...

[Simgar988]

In google earth and see what happens. Keep zooming and zooming and zooming!

Let me guess... a bunch of elves kicked back, drinking beer?

No no the burmuta triangle got too hot and moved to the north pole so Santa is lost.

I don't use google earth....so what happens??

yeah, in LV store there are no Google Earth so I want to know too.

 

[Zcott]

I assume you can do this in Maps.app and not just Google Earth, considering they use the same images?

It's just a weird effect from zooming in

what kind of weir effect?

 

[SkippyThorson]

Since no one has said so, and I'm so bored I just downloaded the app and tried it... Zooming in on the north pole gives you an interesting colored-triangle-intersection effect that keeps changing colors as you zoom. Plus, the compass goes spaz and continuously spins.

Great for those bored, nothing missed for those with more important things to do. The above shows which I fall under tonight.

A weird one.

 

[afireintonto]

i did this, and besides having a really strange zoom effect, the iPad eventually runs out of ram.

 

[greytmom]

Well, crud. No elves?

 

[korgri]

north pole zoom in

you guys have no lives whatsoever.

 

[deeddawg]

Well, crud. No elves?

Nope. Looks a bit like what I imagine a smurf's bottom might look like, and the compass rose keeps spinning, but nothing else special.

Kind of reminds me (and it's also kind of off-topic) of some Google Maps humor.

Get directions in Google Maps from "China" to "Japan". Take particular note of direction #27 that lasts 782km.

Try it on south pole; getting very white there ...

Not Santa's Elves .... Keebler Elves

Not Santa's Elves .... Keebler Elves

But a drunken compass; spinning like hell ... Wonder if that done on purpose ...

Yes, because a compass does spin at the north pole

Well I have enough life not to waste time commenting on other people having no life...wait... dang.

Actually it would point to the magnetic north pole which lies near the northern coast of Canada.

Well, I did have a strange thing happen. I zoomed in and then did the two-finger pull to see if I could get a nice like-being-there panorama. However, while trying to move and tilt and stay at 90N, I somehow seemed to end up under water, but still being at over 11 thousand feet.
