Street View please.

Time for a clue

I think she might be an Inuvialuk (or maybe that should be an Inuvialuit).

The little blue lines were not playing fair!

It's a loooooong road.

But the place is marked as a known location on GM! Toooooooo Easy! Zoom in a bit.  Just near the "International Airport"

Well, I could be in the wrong place. But the placemarks near this airport either don't have SV or are not the right ones. 


It's always easy when you know the answer...

It has to be the "International Airport"!

It is a major airport (as you can see); here is the SV.

I can see only one airport...

Thanks. It proves I'm in the wrong place. Those hills are nowhere to be seen where I'm looking. 

This was hella hard to find because:

1. The airport is not marked on GM nor GE unless you zoom A LOT (and I mean like A LOT)
2. The place has a very poor satellite coverage
3. The streetview blue lines are not visible in satellite mode, but only map mode.

But yea, time to eat some cakes

No wonder. I've been using GE only.

And btw, how do you see placemarks in GM? I thought they were in GE only. And I can't turn on "airports" either. Am I missing something here? I hate GM. It's too slow, takes forever to do any action, doesn't show anything, menus are hidden etc. 

Nice conversation here 

Argh, this is so frustrating....I looked for this yesterday and found the airport, but (obviously) missed the building.

Now, I can't find the airport again.




eta aha found the airport - next task, find the tea!

I was sooooooo close yesterday 

suddenly i thought of that!

How often does it happen: I searched for it for hours on end yesterday and today I found it in 10 secs.

The story of my life

i know why i've been that slow on that puzzle

1°) the google maps is so slow!...

and even worse:

2°) when i checked where the blue lines were in canada, the £$#@ advertisement(?) box on the left of my screen (always appearing and disappearing, and again!) hid some part of that country, exactly where the spot is!!!

the new GM is pretty disappointing so far, some of the most important features disappeared (for instance: when you have found a location in SV, you just have the little box on the lower left to see where it is on the map!) and other totally uninteresting ones appeared (like the 3D)!?!
=
the guys who are making google maps seem to have "never" used it, sigh!...

Congratulations and well done to all who found this location.

The location is Sheep Creek Warden Station in the Ivvavik National Park of Canada, here.



It is serviced by the Sheep Creek International Airport.



The Google Maps Satellite View looks like this (with street view traverse line shown),



On Google Earth the airport is shown here :

what i meant:

since i was checking the northwest territories, the park was hidden...


ozlingula told me he does not get those "ads" boxes, and you?!

I have them too when I do a search.
But it is not such a problem, as you can see.
(Maybe because I am doing it on a 17 inch screen)


When I move the map a little bit, it even minimizes (until I put the cursor on it):

Well, I was way off, because I was looking at the looooong road going south from the town of Inuvik. And btw, when I told you it was a looooong road, you didn't tell me "no it's not a long road, the blue line is quite short", so I assumed I was on the right road... 

Plus, to look for the airport, I stupidly turned on "airports" in GE, when I should have turned on "places". Because the damn airport only appears when places is turned on, NOT "AIRPORTS"!!!!    Whereas other airports do appear when "airports" is turned on, of course... 


Never mind, I'll just have to get my tea from somewhere else, I guess...
