Since Google Maps arrived in India, people don’t face much difficulties in going any place. With the help of Google Maps, if you provide the name and location of the place you wish to go to, then this service guides you. In short, Google Maps has become a blind man’s guide for people. Earlier, when you go to any place, you ask the people around you and they direct you. Some of them guide you the correct way, and some cheat you by guiding you the wrong way. Therefore, people have to face several problems.
Now, there is no fear of getting lost because Google Maps accompanies you day and night in every situation. Sometimes, it’s too much to trust this digital map with closed eyes. Sometimes this Google Map, like a blind man’s guide, misleads the passengers. You click on one place and it takes you to another place. The situation is such that some people are even facing death.
In fact, the data available with Google Maps may be outdated or due to technical issues related to GPS or the Internet. There have been many such incidents where Google Maps has taken people on the wrong path. Not only this, but there could be other reasons behind it. Let us know about those reasons…
If Google Maps gives you a wrong or partially incorrect information of a location, it will mislead you by showing the wrong location and carrying you to the wrong place.
When your mobile’s GPS signal is weak, the location cannot be displayed appropriately. This often happens in denser forests, hilly places, or even in bad weather.
Sometimes, people take some other route different from what Google Maps is giving them, and this can create confusion.
If a new road is built or a road is closed, in such cases, Google Maps will provide you with information about the old route if it is not updated.
How to stay safe from this
Before going to a place, check its name and address carefully.
Change the map to satellite view to see if the location is correct.
Download offline maps before traveling so that you can track the right path even when your internet is cut off.
