Google Earth

[Doofus]

This might be just an Android thing, or it might not. Just recently, when using Earth on my Android tablet, zooming on just about any part of the UK reveals some apparently random green outlines. As you zoom in closer, they disappear. They look like they a demarking perimeters of something, but they don't necessarily follow roads, or apparent boundaries.

I'm wondering what they are, and assuming that somebody must know. I haven't seen the same thing on my PC.

What layers do you have turned on?

None, because layers aren't available in the app. I have 'roads and labels' ticked, and that hasn't changed.

Here's two at random. Bristol and part of Leeds

Click on the green part of the feature. What does it say?

Noting. And when I zoom in further, the green bits disappear.

I think you are using Google Maps not Earth. Green marks like those are for cycling routes.

No, I'm not

Earth


Maps


And they're not cycle routes, because every one of them is circular

Yep just looked in another area and I'm getting the same in Google Earth, lines go through buildings etc so can not be cycle routes. Weird.

And it doesn't happen on a PC.

Having read the title of this thread, I was hoping to see a definitive answer as I noticed this the other day on my new Samsung S2

Sorry, I don't do answers or advice. I'm just here to make the place look nice.
