DOCTOR WHOS TARDIS.

Tucked away in a single streetview image of what appears to be a mere police box,

Move your mouse around a bit. The standard Google Maps directional arrows should pop up, with one little addition: a pair of double arrows. Click those. (Note: If you’re enrolled in the new Google Maps UI beta, the arrows might not appear. Instead, hit the up arrow on your keyboard

STREET VEIW MAN

Dragging the Google Street View "Peg man" onto Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, CA used to display him with a tie-dyed shirt. Also, while in street view on Telegraph Avenue, one can enter and have a look around some of the shops. He is also given special clothing for some widely observed special occasions: for Halloween he rides a broomstick; for Valentine's Day he stands upon a heart; and during Christmas week, he becomes a snowman.[55] When dragged into LegoLand in Carlsbad, the "Peg Man" turns into a LEGO man. When dragged into Street View in Sun Valley, Idaho, he becomes a skier. When dragged onto the vicinity of the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, "Peg Man" becomes a tennis player holding a racket. Dragged near the Kennedy Space Center, "Peg Man" becomes an astronaut.

If the co-ordinates 63° 2' N, 29° 55' W are input into Google Maps, it would return a photo of the city of Rapture from BioShock (the photo has been deleted, although it still reads "The City of Rapture").

SWEEDEN

When searching for "Sweden" in Google Maps, instead of the geographical center (as for other countries and states), zooming in reveals that the map is centered some 200km away at Herräng, Sweden, and more specifically the Folkets Hus, which is the focal point of Herräng Dance Camp.

If the co-ordinates for Point Nemo are inputed into Google Maps, a shadowed imprint shows up with a compass and the word "NEMO" in the ocean.

PINK BUNNY

If you put in the coordinates 44 14'39.77"N 7°46'10.71"E into Google Earth/Maps, a giant pink bunny is shown.
