Google Maps got its first public API 10 years ago and the team behind it is setting off on a massive US road trip to celebrate the milestone.
They’re making the journey in a customized vintage 1959 GM tour bus and will be holding meet ups with developers, bikers, athletes and, apparently, Elmo, along the way. The whole thing is concluding with an event at Disney World.
The bus will begin its trip tomorrow in San Francisco, where it will be stationed outside Google I/O on the corner of 4th Street and Howard Street. Unlike the actual conference, it’s open to anyone, not just attendees with badges.
