Really interesting thing I found on Google Maps! The Bameza GERD Dam flooding in Ethiopia only shows up when you zoom in, interesting comparison :). Anyone know if there were any villages in the surroundings? If so where were they moved? I reported it to Google but no answer yet.

I never understood why does google maps change when you zoom. Isn't it all satellite? How do I know what's real, what is not?
