Android Pees on Apple in Google Maps - PC Magazine
Take a look soon; Google said it is working to have the image removed.
Google Maps has its share of rad Easter Eggs, like the playable Pac-Man game that appeared earlier this month.
But a new image, hidden among the streets of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, seems a bit out of character for the global tech giant.
Zoom into these coordinates, and you'll find an Android robot relieving himself on an Apple logo—in the vein of those Peeing Calvin decals displayed by many a truck driver.
Google said the image is likely an inappropriate use of its Map Maker tool.
"The vast majority of users who edit our maps provide great contributions, such as mapping places that have never been mapped before, or adding new business openings or address changes," Google said. "We're sorry for this inappropriate user-created content; we're working to remove it quickly. We also learn from these issues, and we're constantly improving how we detect, prevent and handle bad edits."
First spotted by Hacker News, the Android image perhaps inspired another edit—"Google Review Policy is crap" with a frowny face, overlaid onto the map in a nearby area of Pakistan (which can be seen only when zoomed in).
Team Android also reported a Skype logo in the vicinity of Lahore, Pakistan.
The move comes a week after Google Maps tipped Edward Snowden's latest hiding place: right inside the White House. A long-standing loophole allowed a user to alter a verified Google business description, turning it into Edward's Snow Den—a snowboard shop located feet from the West Wing.
