For all of today Pegman has been dressed up in his finest funky clothes. He has been wearing a purple suit and has been sporting a rather fine beard. Searching the Google Maps html code reveals that the pegman image has been named 'funkytown', providing a little clue as to what Google Maps has in store for April Fools Day.
In desktop Google Maps I'm now also getting a message telling me to visit Funky Town in the Google Maps app. When I send this to my tablet it fills in the search bar in Google Maps with the words 'Won't you take me to Funky Town'.
A message then appears saying 'No results for won't you take me to Funky Town'. I guess Google isn't ready to get down with me just yet.
Some Google Maps users however are getting results and are being rewarded with a little animation of Pegman getting funky on the dance floor.
Hopefully there will be more to come from the new funky Google Maps when April Fools Day properly arrives.
