Google Maps Defaced With Urinating Robot

An image of the Android robot urinating on the Apple logo has appeared on Google Maps.

It appears just south of the Pakistani city of Rawlpindi, and few miles east lies more digital graffiti reading: "Google review policy is crap".

Apple is the major smartphone rival to Google-owned Android.

Google Maps can be edited by members of the public using a tool called Map Maker.

They can add details and features like street names, parks, places of interest using their knowledge of the local community.

Edits are moderated but some slip through the system.

A Google spokesman said: "We've terminated the Android figure involved in this incident, and he'll be disappearing from Google Maps shortly."
