Me sorprendió ver un juego de pacman en Maps, soy muy malo para jugar y me tocan calles muy complicadas en diagonal que hacen que me maten los fantasmas jaja
Muy difícil si, pero es una maravillosa forma de conocer nuevos lugares.

Google Maps nos ha sorprendido ya a muchos jugando una pequeña versión de Pacman en las calles de nuestros países y ciudades tanto en el móvil como en el ordenador.
• En el móvil:
Basta con que tengas la última actualización de Google Maps en android (9.49.2), ingresas a la App e inmediatamente sin importar donde te ubiques veras un pequeño circulo rosa con Ms. Pacman en su interior.
I am a level 5 local guide and I woke up this morning and got a new feature has been added to Google Maps, the introduction of Pac-man game. I have added screenshots of it and made a complete video on playing the game. I scored 8720 point playing the game.
.
Also, keep in mind that I am a beta tester for google Maps, so maybe that’s why I got an early access to the new feature. If you can see the game in your application in your phone, please write down below.
Its amazing the way cool stuff are included in maps, of late there is this “Insert Coin (Ms. PAC-MAN)” Game that is next to the map navigation controls. Is this in any way related to earning points in maps?
