Rudest Google Maps sightings – including naked man in a car trunk and giant penises in a park
AN EPIC series of bizarre photographs show the hilarity of life on (Google) Earth.
From a real-life Leslie Chow escaping a car trunk to pranksters using a meadow as a canvas for drawing male anatomy, humanity might owe Google a special thank you for catching some of our finer moments.

Google Street View was released in 2007 and has comprehensively mapped 10million miles of the world.
Since then, Google has married Street View with other technologies.
Google Maps Live View is an augmented reality program that presents the user with icons and digital signage to make navigating on foot easier and less confusing.
Wired reported that Google Maps users should consider managing the app’s location tracking services.

We suppose there’s only one way to carry the doll home without having to re-inflate it later.
Let’s hope this is part of some bachelor party shenanigans.

How to check Google Location History
There are a few different ways to check your Google Location History.
The quickest and easiest is go to Google Maps Timeline.
This will show exactly where you’ve been on a given day.
And it can even track your methods of travel, as well as the times you were at specific locations.
If you’re using the Google Maps app, go into the menu and then select Your Timeline.
You may find the results shocking if you’ve had Google Location History turned on for several years without realising.
Suddenly finding that Google is hosting an extremely detailed map tracking years of your real-world movements can be very creepy.
Fortunately it’s possible to turn the feature off.
