I heard that if you open this in apple maps, they have blurred out that area and it looks like a blank land. It is only visible in Google maps.

Look for a brown sandy land, a little bottom left to the dropped pin, where there are giant rusty iron pipes. You will see "HELP", "LAPD" and even a misspelled "Traffic" written using those rods.

Quote from: Baked bagel 11 on March 17, 2025, 07:12:42 AM I don't see anything, what am I looking for? If you have an iPhone, which uses apple, it won't show the land, just like @LightsAreBright27 said. If you have an android phone/iPad/Laptop, It will show the land as android uses Google If you have Google maps, just go to the area and change it to Satellite (like I said)

I've heard that this could actually be a prank with the workers, but I'm not sure. There must have been a reaseon it is blurred on apple maps.

Well I don't know what caused it. People are trying to solve what has caused to have HELP words on the land. But on a normal street view, the area just looks fine, with a couple of Floodlights installed on the area.

Seems some one used Poles to create the HELP word. I wonder if someone did this in the 21st Century or was that done 100 yrs ago? But the thing is is that a couple of different words were written on this land and now people are trying to figure out why this happened... Just very odd to see this 😑

Well, it's quite odd that the construction area has the help signs everywhere... Especially in 2023

Wait a sec- before 2012, there used to be some abandoned cars and buildings, does that have anything to do with this? https://maps.app.goo.gl/vGDQGNMqEDatUuU38?g_st=ac
