Google added the option to convert its popular navigation service into the Pac Man video game on Tuesday morning, around the same day the calendar turned to April 1 in Asia. That ushered in a day when Google shows off its playful side by injecting more fun and humor into its services.
Enter an address or let Google pick a place for you, then click the Pac-Man box on the bottom left corner of the screen. If there are enough streets to form a play area, a classic game is at your fingertips. Locations with lots of streets work best, such as downtown Paducah. I successfully navigated the circle at Fountain Avenue, and also managed to play on the roads and paths in Noble Park.
Google has a special help page with game-playing instructions on your PC, and has some hints for pre-set game grids in famous locations for mobile devices, too. You can see that page at the link below.
