Have you ever looked at a map and thought, “This would make a really fun Pac Man Game!” Yeah, me neither, but that’s apparently why you and I don’t work at Google. In honor of April Fool’s, the tech giant released a new Pac Man game skin for the Google Maps program. You can select any location in the world that has enough roads and then waste countless minutes guiding the hungry little yellow circle through the streets. It’s a complete time waster, and also an absolute blast. read more

GPS navigation is a pretty awesome thing, but sometimes it goes a little bit astray. When it does, it’s usually ridiculously funny and I just can’t help but share. So, in honor of today being Wednesday, or “hump day” I thought I’d share another funny navigational mishap that I read about on GPS Daily.
