Ok here’s a Google Maps mystery:
there is a stretch of road outside Longwood in Co Meath that Google satnav always switches to night mode for.
Broad daylight, no tunnels or tall trees blocking the sun.
I looked at Maps to see if there’s anything electrical nearby that might be causing it. The very stretch of road is a darker grey on Google Maps. Does this represent night mode for Maps? Does anyone have any idea what’s causing this? #googlemaps #mastodaoine
