Pac-Man on Google

[DaBigE]

I tried playing it in downtown Madison and Milwaukee, and both places it said the streets weren't dense enough. I kept getting redirected to some city in Germany with all sorts of odd-angled streets that didn't run north-south or east-west. Made it very challenging to say the least.

That's odd, the first place I tried it on was downtown Madison, and it worked for me (except all the damned diagonal streets were a pain in the ass). I also got it to work on the west side of Madison, by the new jug handle at Mineral Point and Junction Rd...it also picked up the parking lot for the Target area, as well as the roundabout to the west. I also got the area near the H-D Museum in Milwaukee to work as well...6th St near/including the roundabout.

I tried it last night in the Google Maps app. You can't play just anywhere in the app, has to be some places they programmed (three such are downtown DC, Times Square, and the Arc de Triomphe). I found it was easier to control Pac-Man by swiping my iPad screen than it was using the keyboard on my PC.

It wasn't pre-programmed locations, but the street grid did have to be "just right." I tried playing in it in a town near me and said that there was something incompatible about it. I panned slightly but it then worked.

Has the pac-man feature been disabled or discontinued?

Long gone.  It only lasted about a week.

Google Maps pacman is long gone, but pacman with the Google logo (not Google maps) still exists somewhere.

It's back!

(Well, it's Ms. Pac-Man now, but still.)

I played it a few years ago on my minor, small college campus.

This afternoon requires serious willpower to avoid playing that on my office PC. The higher-ups seriously frown on that sort of thing.

Downtown San Diego made for a good (ms) Pac man maze.

It seems to be gone again
