It’s the go-to navigational app for many people around the world, and now Google Maps has caught a couple in a rather awkward photoshoot.
Eagle-eyed Reddit users spotted the couple in a recent image taken by Google’s Street View camera, at the La Playa Xpu Há Beach Club in Mexico.
While the couple appear to be in a loving embrace on the edge of the water, a third person features in the photo - a photographer.
The woman in the photo is wearing a long white dress, while the man is wearing a suit, suggesting this could be a wedding or engagement photo shoot.
However, one Reddit user joked about the addition of the Google Maps Street View’s camera, writing: “I guess he got an extra angle and didn't even realise it.”
Google Maps’ Street View feature launched back in 2005, and allows you to see panoramic images of different locations.
To try it out for yourself, open the Google Maps app, and search for a place or drop a pin on the map.
At the bottom of the app, tap the place name or address, then scroll down and select the photo labeled ‘Street View.’
You’ll then be shown a street-level view of that location, which you can manoeuvre around by swiping the screen.
When you’re done, tap back and you’ll be taken back to the main Maps view.
