Google is asking millions of users to
hunt for buried treasure using a new pirate-style "treasure mode" on
its maps.
The company posted a video on YouTube
explaining how Street View's "underwater team" discovered a chest
containing lost maps belonging to pirate William "Captain" Kidd
during an expedition to the Indian Ocean.
The video explains how hidden treasure symbols can be unearthed
on the maps, which have been digitised by a special 3D nanoscanner.
