When Cyberman Attacks Google Maps

Update: The Cyberman has at 1 time been removed from Google Maps. Boo!

The problem amongst crowd-sourced maps is that sometimes you lot can't trust the crowd. Google has occasionally had problem amongst people using Google Map Maker to brand less than accurate changes to Google Maps.

Google Map Maker edits accept to move approved past times moderators in addition to this unremarkably plant inward stopping the almost obvious attempts to vandalize Google Maps. However the occasional prank edit does sneak past times the moderators in addition to come inward on to Google Maps for real.


When the Google Street View caught something foreign going on inward a dorsum street of Manchester, mortal decided it would move a proficient thought to rename Temperance Street inward Manchester. Google fairly apace changed the refer dorsum to Temperance Street but I suspect that the refer 'Hand Job Alley' only mightiness accept caught on locally.



The latest prank edit to seem on Google Maps is this moving-picture exhibit of a Cyberman, which has appeared nigh a lake inward Merthyr Tydfil.


I'm assuming of shape that this is a joke edit made to Google Maps. I approximate that at that spot is a peril that the abrupt appearance of moving-picture exhibit of a Cyberman inward Wales mightiness accept something to create amongst the secretive Torchwood Institute inward nearby Cardiff.
