Can anyone do some geometric analysis on the C. The map is Mercator projection, meaning that things are skewed the closer you are to the poles. If the C is perfect, then it's probably just something added by the developers or maybe a troll with a rooted phone.
Idea: Using conventional maps, the mapmakers sometimes include a deliberate mistake. That way they can tell who copied their maps and is in copyright violation. Could this be a similar circumstance?
That crossed my mind actually, they'll add islands and mountains that don't exist. Google used a similar strategy when they tried to figure out if Bing was copying their results (by having a search for Blackberry turn up some random site).
Maybe it was just "C" for copyright, and anyone who stole the data carelessly would be caught red-handed. But honestly, it would make more sense to just have a bunch of trails and patterns in obscure locations that are actually off-limits to normal people. Not government owned necessarily but stretches of private property or open water with artificial tracks.
Yea I found out about this on chans and posted it here earlier today it is quite fascinating that this is just public information. However, what they aren't showing is what scares me. I bet they can pull a lot of data than just gps movements. If the watches had video or microphones you bet they are getting activated at certain times.
The gyroscopes and accelerometers in phones could be used as a crude inertial navigation system (INS). So if that was enabled, you'd be able to see tracks underground, or in buildings, or even within Faraday cages.
Boston Dynamics could have put the app on one of their nightmare inducing dogs and programmed it to walk in an oval loop. Goal to see how long it could patrol military base before battery dies in sub-zero temps, and then retrieve it later.
Well duh the line is computer generated, all of these lines are computer generated based upon the GPS data that Strava has.
As for how someone could generate that data and send it to Strava, I couldn't tell you. Maybe this is someone fucking with the data set on an android emulator; I have no idea.
My guess is that I could be a barrier to some kind of secretive place. Could be different species, could be fallen angels, could be where the Saturn Death Cult really hides out. In another instance, like you said it could be a portal or some kind of a way to travel to different dimensional realms.
All we know for sure is there is definitely something hidden there, because I can't imagine why they would escort people out from a certain point back to the main world. It's not like the governments of our world have ever cared for our safety, and I doubt they keep us there for protection (or maybe they think we can't handle what's there).
Every satellite image, every recorded trek, every flight, every indication of weather, every trace of animals indicated that its nothing but a frozen wasteland. Just like the very well-documented north pole.
What reason do you have to believe it's anything other than a sheet of ice?
CBS This Morning has a segment on the North Face Antarctica climbing team. High product placement and stunning HD video. Just mentioned the 24 hours of sun there.

Sorry, I accidentally created a repost about the C. I also noticed it just now.
I don't think anyone can move in a C at a geographical scale using any equipment.
1 America_USA_ 2018-01-29
no worries. It would either have to be faulty data or a corridor of some kind, right?
1 DiscoTheWolf 2018-01-29
C is for Corridor, that's good enough for me.
1 infocom6502 2018-01-29
Are there Helicopters operating there?
1 America_USA_ 2018-01-29
Do you think a helicopter could make that perfect of a path? Not a rhetorical question. I really don't know
1 infocom6502 2018-01-29
I would think so; they are fairly smooth unless it's windy conditions with gusts.

There is a giant cookie in Antarctica #Cookiegate

Particle collider? I don't know.

If the C is skewed, what the fuck.
1 America_USA_ 2018-01-29
I didn't think about that. I wouldn't have a clue how to reshape it. Anyone? Possibly could find some useful info

It’s still suspiciously close to other highly remote activity. Is it odd to have the randomized C right next to this big squiggly right angle?
1 bananapeel 2018-01-29
I wonder if you can tell from the heatmap data exactly how many people walked / biked over this path? It would be interesting to find out.

I heard Samsung knows if you are carrying your phone or someone else is by the way you walk. Imagine all they data they have
1 SpenB 2018-01-29
Damn, I was aware that phones had "pocket detection" but I didn't realize they were about to identify gait.
1 LazarusLong1981 2018-01-29
facebook has reported this too. They can tell who you are talking to, and who you are walking with
1 GeneralDisaster 2018-01-29
German police used that exact data to prove a murderer carried a body down an embankment and walked back up again.
1 entheox 2018-01-29
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

Exactly what I was thinking lol
Antartica is just a prop, duh.

Hehe cool first thing that popped into my head.

Yes, thanks, all "space" like mars, is located somewhere on earth

That is computer generated and isn't real.

Maybe is some sort of tram on a track so there is no human deviation. Goes in a loop out then back.
1 MissType 2018-01-29
Do we know the scale of the “C”? Could be a viewing path around something.
1 cocothecat11 2018-01-29
FAKE MAPS NASA LIES EARTH NOT NECESSARILY FLAT YET NOT WHAT IT IS PORTRAYED TO BE. lmao
1 autistic_mongoose75 2018-01-29
What do you think it's a barrier to? As in like a portal or something?
1 cocothecat11 2018-01-29
My guess is that I could be a barrier to some kind of secretive place. Could be different species, could be fallen angels, could be where the Saturn Death Cult really hides out. In another instance, like you said it could be a portal or some kind of a way to travel to different dimensional realms.
