Google Maps Easter Egg Lets You Take a Virtual Walk Into the TARDIS

[dgstorm]

Although this isn't exactly Android related news, it is Google related geek entertainment that we thought some of you would appreciate. Apparently, some crafty Googlers got a chance to "sneak into the TARDIS" and create a Google Maps easter egg of its main control room and a bit more.

There is a specific spot within Google Maps in the UK where you can find a nondescript Police Call Box. If you click on the "double-arrows" it will take you inside the multi-dimensional space within where the Time Lord himself pilots the TARDIS.

Thanks to the folks at TechCrunch for sharing this excellent find!

Here's a quick word from the source regarding the easter egg,

(Note: Word is that this easter egg doesn’t always work in the new Google Maps interface, which many of you have likely opted into by now. No problem — just open the link in Chrome’s incognito mode [or whatever your browser's private browsing mode might be called] and you should be back at the old Google Maps interface without requiring you to tweak any settings or log out of Google.)
