Google Maps took me to the wrong place… Today I would have died because of Google Maps… Google Maps took me into the streets, you must have heard many such lines. In the last few days, many accidents have happened due to Google Maps. In these, users keep walking with the help of Google Maps and stop on the wrong path. But the question arises how can Google Maps be so wrong? Why does it locate the wrong path? Many such questions must be coming to mind.

Although this is a big mistake of Google Maps, sometimes it is your mistake too. Here we will tell you 5 such reasons why Google Maps takes you to the wrong location and leaves you there.

Google Maps' mistake

Google Maps shows the wrong route due to many reasons, many times the location of Google Maps stops in the middle. It gets updated late, takes you into the streets, or leaves you in the construction area. Due to all these problems, some people have also died, and many cases of accidents have also been seen.

Recently a case has come to light in which a family was returning from a wedding and Google Maps took them to a bridge that was only half built and they fell. These are the mistakes of Google Maps-

Google Maps stops working in hilly areas, forests or those areas where network coverage is less. Even if it works, it updates the location very late.

Many times Google Maps has temporary data, which is outdated and has not been updated with time. Understand it like this - today there are farms in an area but after a few years the construction of a highway has started there, then it has not been updated on Google.

Service outage is also a big reason, many times the maps from Google's backend work slow or stop working, in such a situation users suddenly go to a location and get stuck.

It is very important to have time to time updates in Google, not getting updates of construction areas, notifications of bad roads not coming at the right time can create problems.

This mistake of yours can cost you heavily

If Google Maps is showing the wrong time, there can be many reasons behind it. If your phone is not receiving proper GPS signal, it affects Google Maps and it is unable to track the location quickly.

Google Maps is unable to show the exact location due to low network coverage in the phone. Many times you keep the battery saving mode on in your phone to save battery. Due to this, some functions of the phone do not run automatically, the net runs slow, so Google Maps is unable to show the accurate route.

Due to the location history being turned off, Google Maps does not show the correct time duration. Many times some permissions are turned off in the phone, due to which Google Maps is also affected.

Select vehicle mode in the map

When the location starts, it is necessary to select one of the car mode, walk mode, bus mode, cycle mode etc. in the vehicle mode. Many times you do not pay attention to this and get stuck in the streets by selecting walk mode while going by car. If you select car mode, it can show you a path as wide as possible. But walk mode shows a pedestrian path in which the car can get stuck.

Reach the right location using Google Maps

If you want to reach the right destination using Google Maps, then do this setting in your phone. For this, select the right vehicle mode while starting the journey. Select the Avoid Highway option in Navigation Settings and turn it off. After selecting the Location Service option in iPhone Settings, make sure to turn on Precise Location. Now you can use Google Maps, after this your chances of getting stuck can be reduced.
