odd, if you look up say north korea in google maps, it won't show names of cities or roads, etc, whereas bing maps does

i've noticed that microsoft maps are willing to go to greater levels of detail on areas like this

what is googles problem??

I'll tell you something weird, Google will blur out all the dams on the Catawba river in NC, but not any of the dams on the PeeDee river that's right next to it. WTF?

They're currently censoring(Big time censoring) what appears to be a large scale oil/gas drilling project in Northwest Territories in Canada. It's actually quite strange and more censored than anything else I've ever seen on google maps, strangely you can still do street view but the area is covered in thick fog, and wont let you walk and a small portion of road (the fog even looks photo shopped) and the area right before you hit the censored fog part, is bright and sunny...creepy...check it out here's the co-ords 67.179711,-135.821486

I started looking at North Korea with Bing maps and I was checking out Pyongyang. I noticed there was almost no cars anywhere as if it was a freaking ghost town. Then all of the sudden I stumbled upon this road with what looks like tens of thousands of people all going into a bunker of sorts.

Check this out guys, this is pretty fucking weird.

Not many people have cars in NK as they have no money and are poor.
The only people that have cars are high ups in the current regime.
People massed is most likely military training or just a drill for retaliation
to an invasion which they always think will happen at anytime.
Very fucked up place to go and see, watch this great Vice 3 part video
and you will be amazed at how screwed up it is there and how all the
people are brainwashed.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
