My friend and I developed the first geography game of its kind to use photorealistic 3D Google Maps technology

Google recently rolled out a new Photorealistic 3D technology that makes the world come alive in stunning 3D. It was so impressive that it sparked an idea for a new game: EarthChasers. In this geography-themed game, you're randomly placed somewhere on Earth, and you have to fly around, to figure out where you are.

My friend and I recently just finished a prototype of the game and are really excited about this. If you do give it a try, we are open to any feedback or ideas for how it can be improved!

Google maps is a murderer

Im completely convinced that my google maps is a murderer and I am its next victim. With its listening capabilities, organization and mass data storage I convinced. It zigzags me under highways I'm supposed to be on, takes me through neighborhoods to force me to cross 4 and 6 lane roads without a traffic light, not letting me know about traffic up ahead until last minute and conveniently loosing signal on dangerous parts of the highway so I don't know what my next turn is. You might call me crazy or even delusional.. but remember me because my time is short. If you are reading this and google has already killed me tell your family you love them --TT

A tad bit boring, but I just can’t think of a reason why the guy’s on the ground and only one person’s helping him

I went back and forth multiple times and it just makes no sense. I mean, this is New York, but I’m just really confused as to what’s happening.
