Google Maps’ Atlantis disappears!

On March 17, 2010, I wrote a post on this blog saying that Google Maps had supposedly found Atlantis off the coast of Africa, that is, until the Google mappers realized that they mapping boat had actually created the grid that some thought looked like city streets.

Now, improved mapping techniques have eliminated the grid artifacts in recent Google mapping forays over the ocean floor, according to a Mobile Magazine article.

The internet giant, in a drive to clean up, or rather upgrade, its ocean mapping system, has removed from Google Earth the image which was believed to be that of the lost city of Atlantis.
