Google Maps has come up with a clever response for nagging kids who just can't stop asking "are we there yet?" during trips.

The San Francisco-based internet giant has many secrets embedded in its technology, and in the latest version of Google Maps, the robotic voice behind the app shows it can do more than give directions, the Mirror reported.

During navigation mode, if someone continuously asked Google Maps "are we there yet," the voice replies with an increasingly terse "no."

On persisting, the robot threatens saying, "If you ask me again, we won't stop for ice cream."

The amusing surprise that Google has placed inside its technology is called 'Easter Eggs'.
