Her boyfriend [[Cueball]] states he cannot move there. And then Megan just ends their relationship. Cueball does not just give up, he takes her hand and looks deep into her eyes and claims he can see a future for them. But Megan asks him to look deeper and he sees a typical Google Map message and realizes that they already own her, he has no chance of stopping her from going to California. |

When Google Maps was first starting out, the maximum zoom level a person could select went past the highest resolution imagery available in certain areas. When this happened, Google Maps would tile the message "We're sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level".

The title text refers to a functionality of Google Maps that allows users to submit/update information about places on the map, such as business listings, monuments, etc. Such updates must be approved by Google before other users can see them. Apparently, Cueball has been repeatedly submitting 'WHERE YOU BROKE MY HEART' as a listing for his own house, so that Megan, who is now on the Google Maps team, will see those submissions. The title text is probably her reply. | The title text refers to a functionality of Google Maps that allows users to submit/update information about places on the map, such as business listings, monuments, etc. Such updates must be approved by Google before other users can see them.
