Ahahah…ahahaha…
Someone on the Google Maps team might have a little explaining to do to someone this morning. Hopefully, they get only a little wrist slap or are forced to take a shot of Fireball for their actions, but yes, the images you see here are actually in Maps. Click here if you want to see it. In case you can’t quite decipher the code here, that is indeed the Android logo (better known as “Bugdroid”) urinating on the Apple logo.
I couldn’t tell you why this image is plastered just south of Islamabad, west of the Bahria Golf Course, but maybe the Soan River is in need of a refill? Is this that new Bugdroid-Pissing-on-Apple State Park that has been delayed on Kickstarter for months? Whatever the reason, it’s something.
Talk about a start to our Friday.
Update: Google apologized for the “user-created” content and has removed it.
I screen shotted that Badboy and also cached the map so i can see it everyday and get a laugh!!
next step is for someone to grow crops this way then they can’t do anything about it
Its gone for me. Both mobile and desktop.
It’s been removed now.
Well, not like they could use Calvin 😀
even though calvin is better than iOS too
I saw on reddit, someone found the submitter

And… Its gone.
its still there on mobile
that’s gone too
LOVE IT!
🙁
No it’s not…search “shahpur rawalpindi” in Google maps.
For some reason, it’s still not showing up on my Google maps… ?? :/
try it on your phone
Aye. Still shows up on my phone. 🙂
Works on my Android phone in the Google Maps app
And it is gone.
No it isn’t, search this
“shahpur rawalpindi” in maps.
It’s gone.
it shows up on mobile
Shows up on my Android phone on Google Maps app.
Meanwhile at Apple…
Fantastic.
yup.
Funny that they chose Pakistan to pee on. Would not want to be in a Google mapping can in Pakistan now!
It’s actually peeing on an apple, not Pakistan.
Just shows you don’t have to be 100% serious all of the time.
I imagine seeing the higher ups making the Maps team remove this for whatever reason.
And like I said, gone.
So where is this exactly? Link doesn’t work.
Put these coordinates in your google maps 33°30’52.5″N 73°03’33.2″E
Search “shahpur rawalpindi” in Google maps.

This may be one of the greatest easter eggs of all time
Check this out (You might have to zoom in a bit): https://www.google.com/maps/@33.5014025,73.1267323,17z
I wonder how much stuff is actually hidden in the maps database now
Should go to area 51 in google maps and look at all the weird stuff there, odd shapes and cult signs in the bombing area, and a new pyramid that was built at or by the base. I remeber when Google maps 1st came out and finding all the weird stuff that occurs naturally, like the indian head in a mountain formation, and some built, like the swastika building. Tons of crazy stuff, except they blur out the ufo’s now.
Is this through mobile because I can’t get this to show up on PC. Lolz
Looks like they removed it
What was it? it’s not showing up for me.
Yup, the image/text has now been removed. It is the 2nd image in the following link: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/apr/24/google-maps-hides-an-image-of-the-android-robot-pissing-on-apple
Basically, it was added by some user using Google’s Map maker tool and Google’s review policy allowed it to pass through!
Google should put it back
Apple get’s pissed off and Pissed on all in one day
Check what out? All I see is a big green rectangle, and zooming in as you recommend just shows more green. You wouldn’t, per chance, been trying to show us the random penis shape here, would you?: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Unnamed+Rd,+Pakistan/@33.5027487,73.1037812,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x38dff2a4eb007f49:0x8a10bc1d7975e242?hl=en
This is great. With all the sh*t Apple gives android at their iPhone events, its good to see someone at google taking a pretty clever (& funny) shot at them,
Google, you’re just the best.
Android has a coolant leak.
I wonder did this – it is in Pakistan – and how did someone find this? I want to shake their hand – after they wash it of course
People in Pakistan don’t use Google Maps?
lmfao. WTF.
Dammit!! I just submitted this to DL. Lolz. There is supposed to be another object on there from what I have read.
Haha I love it. People saying it’s immature and whatever on other sites are just boring people I wouldn’t like
Pretty much. We get that it’s immature, but it’s still kind of funny that this actually made it into Google Maps.
Exactly
If everyone was mature all the time, life would suck. And if you think about it, the people who put that there were probably a group of 20yr old wiz kids working on the maps team, laughing up a storm while doing it!
Makes me want to watch The Internship.
So if Apple did it, you’d laugh too?
I probably would laugh.
That’s good to know. Can’t have one side have all the fun. :p
Grow a spine, girly man.

What’s a spine? Do explain. Sounds like spinach.
It’s funny either way 😀
Hell yes I’d laugh. My apple friends love it
Screw Apple.
You mean Apple Pie’s.
Woah, woah WOAH. No need to start going into communist territory now…Apple Pie is damn good!
Jim in American Pie certainly thought so.
I wouldn’t. Because I don’t like Apple. Also, Apple regularly and openly tries to piss on Android (figuratively). Also, Apple maps suck, so it wouldn’t be as funny.
Apple = evil, Google = Don’t be evil
Google’s a hypocrite sounds like.
Because a cartoon robot urinating on a cartoon apple is something that would be created only by Satan himself.
I’d laugh.
Why would Apple put a picture of an Android logo pissing on an Apple logo on their own site?? That would just be stupid. :p
If Apple did it, no one would see it. When is the last time you used Apple Maps?
But if an Apple fanboy submitted the opposite on Google Maps, who would apologize then? Apple or Google?
So much conflict in that region… #yeeaaaaaaaaah
Lol! Burn.

Seems a little childish, no?
And what’s with the rhinoceros to the East?
Not really if you have a sense of humor.
I don’t know. I guess I never liked the “Calvin look-alike pissing on X” window sticker (don’t like car decals/bumper stickers much at all), so this just isn’t funny to me.
Now some of the comments here on Droid Life, those are funny.
… And no, Dick, yours isn’t one of them.
No, parents naming their kid “Asa” is childish
The only other Asa I know is certainly not childish I assure you…;)
am I supposed to look that up now? nah
If you do, don’t do it at work…lulz
Classy
Is it hard walking around with a stick up your ass?
Not really, feels good.
The Android is clearly watering the apple plant.
