Google Maps is a service to let people look at the world through their web browser.
When Google Maps was first starting out, the maximum zoom level a person could select went past the highest resolution imagery available in certain countries.
When this happened, Google Maps would tile the message "We're sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level".

Weird. I almost never use the random button on xkcd, but I did yesterday 2-3 times, and then once today. And today I came to this comic in the first try. And I may have missed seeing this before, even though I believed I have been through at least the first 600 comics... Or maybe it just did not register the first time? But today it did as the last I came across yesterday was 449: Things Fall Apart where Megan breaks up with Cueball who do not wish to break up. And they are only 40 comics between. I can also not remember reading that one before. But they are so similar, and that I got those on two random comics in a row is just weird and fun to me! --Kynde (talk) 10:34, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
