Google Earth Web
For serious exploration, Google Earth is usually much better than Google Maps because many geoglyphs only become obvious when viewed from the correct altitude and angle. Researchers and enthusiasts have cataloged over 700 lines and geometric figures and dozens of animal and human geoglyphs, so there is no universally agreed "complete" list, but the locations above cover nearly all of the internationally famous figures.
