If You Need to Stop for Directions, Ask Pac-Man?

Google Maps turned its Boston map into a wicked version of the classic arcade game.

You might find yourself more distracted than usual when planning your trip to that new restaurant your wife has been talking about. Google Maps has turned its Boston map into a game of Pac-Man.

Give it a whirl here by opening Google Maps and then pressing the Pac-Man icon in the lower left corner.

Google’s execution of this creative idea is likely in the spirit of April Fools’ Day, which is on April 1, so try it now before the tool reverts back to normal.
