Google's April Fools

[M.Jackson]

Anyone that has not yet done so, go to google maps and, in the upper right corner, enter quest mode. It made me smile.

I like that a lot- I hope they keep it- I looked today (the 2nd) and it is still there... I do want to know how to do the "quest" they mentioned... I clicked try it now and it went away and I have nothing on my map that is "new" aside from the graphics

Also, make sure you view StreetView in Quest mode. Very adventurous.

I don't see it

They removed the button but you can hopefully get it via this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=0.0000...214844&t=8&z=4

still available via that link I wonder what is needed to constitute as a castle... US has none

Ah cool that link still works. Also, thanks for mentioning that I can do it in Streetview. I didn't know that they also made streetview cool too.

Looks like it’s the t=8 query string in the URL that makes the Quest view. You can attach that to any location URL in the address bar to get Quest view.

Thanks, that is pretty hilarious. You can count on Google to make like a little more exciting every once in a while.

Did you see wifi toilet one they did a few years back. That was the best. I almost bought it for a bit. lol
