Over the years, Google has experienced several map mishaps.

In April, a park in the shape of an Android robot urinating on an Apple logo appeared in the program's map of Pakistan.

Another jokester put Edwards Snow Den — a play on NSA whisteblower Edward Snowden's name — hiding inside the White House.



This latest map prank, however, may say more about the state of race relations in the U.S. than cyber security.

Search a version of the n-word and "house" on Google Maps, and the app directs you to The White House. And, in case you thought it was mistaken, the map adds some detail: "Iconic home of America's President."



The offensive search result had Twitter abuzz with rage Tuesday afternoon.

@googlemaps The White House is not the N$gger House. Please remove — Renee Fisher (@QB2627) May 19, 2015

In the past, many of the jokes reportedly originated with Google Map Maker, an online map-editing tool that was shut down earlier this month after an onslaught of spam attacks with obscene edits.
