I just realized this, but the picture above was taken a long time ago! Street view is not available, and the Hybrid button was changed to the terrain button a couple of months ago. Why would this person want to take a screen shot that long ago for a game hint released this week?

That is odd, but maybe it's actually a screenshot from Google Earth, and not google maps?

That would explain the addition of the Coordinate box as well.

idk.

I went to Copley Square this morning to see what's there -- nothing but brick! And snow. And it was before sunrise and raining, so I didn't stay long.

In this picture by Elgin the three colored squares in the middle look like they are covering a circular fountain, but there was nothing.

There will be ice sculptures all over the park on New Years Eve (Boston's First Night celebration)

Maybe the name of the game is "Copley Squares"?

did you take your gps unit with you?
did you find the spot that the gps says is the proper coordinate?
what was the first thing that you saw when you look the the direction of the 342 degree bearing?
i doubt that there is "nothing" there.

The gray circle you see behind the 3 boxes in my picture I linked is just part of the Terraserver logo.

edit: I had something else, but nevermind. I figured out what it was.

Sorry guys, I'm so last century... no GPS unit. I'm lucky I even have a cell phone. I was basing the location on the maps I've seen posted here. I might go back Monday if the weather is better and I go to work nearer to sunrise when you can actually see things.

Also, from my post here, Copley Square is tilted approximately 342.242026 degrees clockwise* from north, so the plaza in front of the church is squared with the third number in the second hint.

*Sorry, I had counterclockwise in the other post. I think I mean CW.
