Google Maps online vs offline navigation: Things you need to keep in mind
In a tragic incident on Saturday night, three men from Uttar Pradesh lost their lives when their taxi plunged off an incomplete bridge over the Ramganga River in Faridpur, Bareilly district. The victims were traveling from Gurugram to Bareilly and had been using Google Maps to navigate from Dataganj in Budaun to Faridpur via Khallpur. Unaware of the bridge's unfinished state, their reliance on the navigation system ended in disaster, raising serious concerns about the accuracy and reliability of GPS navigation systems like Google Maps, especially in areas with incomplete or misleading infrastructure data.
