I've been doing some research into locations in Prague using Google Maps, and either the guy who was tasked to take the photos got the camera position wrong, or there's a small hairy ghost haunting large swathes of the city.

The Americans have Bigfoot. Prague has Bighair. There's some controversy about whether Bigfoot is related to Bighair.

You'd like to think that Google had - oh, I don't know - some kind of *quality control* operating ...

If you tour Wroclaw in Poland there’s a trail of brass gnomes. Maybe someone in Prague had a stock of wigs and is doing something similar and it’s not the guy with camera on his shoulders who messed up?

What gets me is that these are from *2024*.

No one, in all that time, went "Gee. Maybe we should re-take those..."

I did a quick search and no-one else seems to have flagged it up, so I guess it's not really struck anyone as an issue.

I think that the "trekker" pics of pedestrian areas on Streetview are mostly user submissions rather than part of the main filming process (Geoguessr players have observed that they tend to follow tourist trajectories...)
