Google Maps Street View is a great way to work out travel plans and explore the rest of the world.
It was created in 2007, two years after the creation of Google Maps.
Whilst an amazing tool, it can also cause embarrassment for people who happen to get snapped by the 360-degree camera.
One man is certainly red-faced after a drunken incident.
The man was spotted in Birmingham city centre after he collapsed on the pavement drunkenly.
His two friends are seen picking him up by his arms and his legs before dropping him back to the ground.
Suddenly, he notices the Google camera taking images of the street as it drives past.
He then leaps up and chases the car down the road, waving his arms.
A video of the incident was uploaded to website Birmingham Updates, with amusing music to accompany the event.
The drunken man involved has since identified himself, aptly named Luke Beer.
He told Birmingham Updates that since seeing himself, he is a “changed man”.
Mr Beer explained: “Funny behaviour I completely forgot I even done it. This was the same night I decided to sleep outside my pals…cracking evening.
“I was a slightly hungover the next day, but A1 after a bit of grub! I would just like to thank Google for their perfect timing.”
It isn’t the first time a man has been embarrassed by the Google Maps car.
An older man in Italy was caught in the midst of falling off his bike.
Whilst his legs are on the ground, the weight of the bike appears to be falling against him.
It isn’t clear if he manages to get back up again.
