Thanks for the clue. I was aware of the location but was not getting the GSV hence was searching at other places specially on the other side of the pool. I wonder how other got the GSV? Is it Blue dot or an Orange Dot? These dots are getting on my nerves.

Not sure CJM, but I do know that the blue dots appear better if you use maps.

@cjm: I checked the regular GM and, like you, I didn't see any blue dots on the island of B******. Some days ago seefit posted a great workaround, and I've been using the French version after that. Not only does it show the blue and orange dots, but one click on Pegman/woman will make them all appear and stay. The background ....

Thanks to tip from Bridge I was able to see the lone blue dot at the spot and could access it; However I still couldn't get the SVs which Groovy, Walter, Alchemist and Utapao got! I also did some research on this and tested with following URLs at the location of above ship. The blue dot appeared in New Google Maps in all these. www.google.fr/maps/ www.google.ch/maps/ www.google.co.in/maps/www.google.co.uk/maps/www.google.co.jp/maps/Blue dot didn't appear in www.google.com/maps/ but when I hovered pegman over the spot I could get thumbnail. When I used Classic Google Map maps.google.com I neither got blue dot and nor the thumbnail in spite of my hovering the pegman over the spot. It looks Google are forcing us to use New Google Maps which I will continue to ignore till the Classic Maps are available. Don't like the New Maps.

Thanks for the clue. I am still puzzled by 1) how to get that SV (blue dot, no orange dots for me, no SV lines, like for everybody else I suppose) 2) What on earth they're doing in that picture (and the video). It still took me some time after the clue was given; I had to scan the whole coast! And of course I tried to find the ship... Did anyone find the place searching for the ship? I'd love to know what worked.

Once this is over I would love to know how Groovy, Walter, Alchemist, Utapao and OZ got the SV!. This has been bugging me.

CJM - I wasn't bright enough to think about a 360. In fact I was wondering where Groovy, Walter and Oz got their pic. I took the lazy way out and just did a zoom across the water from the blue dot.
