Why is that a bug? It points you to the middle of Germany, and the zoom level is what it normally defaults to ... :)
True, not perhaps the most user friendly, but not a bug

street? How can you miss it?
Ummmm....you perhaps don't see it?
Now that you've said that, I wonder if people see different data on G maps, like when they search, getting different datacenters...

Looks like a bug to me too.
Zooming all the way out, it looks like there are 4 sets of continents. That's probably not a bug.

I see the bug- very cute (and BIG) bugger!
For those who don't see it, make sure you're in Satellite view.

Dat's a bug. Minus legs... not sure if it ever had wings.

I'd heard they got that big but this is the first time I've ever actually seen one...

Actually, I think this a remnant of WWII when the Nazis were experimenting with radioactive bugs to drop bombs on London.

LOL . . . I wish I could point to a pic here, one day the satellite was losing signal, I had carried the phone outside and was about to call them up when I looked at my satellite dish . . . .
. . . the receiver was crawling with wasps, it seems they found a sliver in the corner of the receiver to crawl in and build a nest. Bugs in the system . . . lol . . . .

Google Earth has the same bug. Do a Google Earth search for: 48.857635,10.20529
You'll see it there larger than life.

If you go to Google Earth and change the perspective, you'll see that the bug is squashed flat.
Instead of worrying about a bug of that size, let's worry about whatever it was that was able to squash it flat!
Aparently, we are not alone...

It looks like a virus marketing to me. They placed a bug there just to make people talk about it.
Then Google Maps is getting milions of new users just by word spread.

I'm not telling anyone about that bug! Let them fend for themselves -)
