With Google Earth Easter eggs being passed around more and more, we found 10 new eggs that have been discovered in 2020 with the help of some very sharp viewers. These hidden features can be seen in the depths of oceans, African safaris, and city streets across the world. These Easter eggs aren't the same Easter eggs many think of, rather hidden features or messages that wouldn't have been discovered otherwise. Google Earth has proven that satellites can grab the smallest of moments and store them for anyone with the Internet to explore.Ĭurrently, Google Earth enthusiasts are searching the globe from the seat of their couch for Easter eggs that Google Earth satellites may have picked up. Google is no stranger to game-related April Fools' Day gags as it previously inserted Pokémon into the real world, years before Niantic would do the same in Pokémon Go, and in 2012 it turned real-world maps into 8-bit renditions that would not have looked out of place in an 80s RPG.With the help of Google Earth, everyone with access to the Internet can look up any coordinate across the globe.

Pac-Man as city streets don't necessarily translate into solid single-screen arcade stages (indeed the wraparound effect is a little unpredictable as certain streets link up with odd continuations across the map), but it's still an amusing diversion nonetheless. This Bandai Namco-related gag isn't as good as the real Ms.

Hit this and you'll be whisked away to a random location with familiar pellets dotting the landscape as you guide Ms. Simply boot up the software on your mobile device or go to the web-based browser version and you'll see a prompt to "insert coin". Now that gag has been reprised only with Ms. Two years ago Google Maps added an April Fools' Day East egg allowing the navigation software to play a round of Pac-Man.
