Earlier, if someone had to go somewhere and did not see the way, then he had to ask people, but now it is not so because in today's time, if you have to go somewhere and you do not know the way, then you can reach your destination with the help of Google Maps. Google Maps not only tells you the way, but it also shows you short routes so that you can complete your journey quickly and reach the destination on time. It also gives you other information like traffic jams on the way and how much time the journey will take, but do you know that you can also get into trouble with this Google Map? Maybe not, but some such cases have come to light in which people had to lose their lives due to Google Maps. Therefore, whenever you use Google Maps, it becomes necessary to take special care of some things. So let's know about this...

3 friends lost their lives:-
Recently 3 friends were going to a wedding in Bareilly and they took the help of Google Maps. When they were crossing the bridge over the Ramganga River, the bridge was broken in the middle due to a flood and this was not updated on the map. In such a situation, the car fell from the bridge and these three friends died.

Not only this, in July this year, two boys were going with the help of Google Maps in Kerala. They had to go to the hospital, but Google Maps took them to the river. In such a situation, both the boys got stuck in the strong currents of the river. However, the administration rescued both the boys as soon as they got the information.

It is important to keep these things in mind while using Google Maps:-
If you are also going somewhere using Google Maps, then first check the map once to see which route it is taking you so that you are aware.
If the map is asking you to go on deserted roads, then avoid going on these roads. Always try to go by the main road.

It is very important to update the Google Map app so that if there is any route update on the app, it is also on your app.

If the internet is not working, you can download and keep offline maps

If there is any doubt on the map, you can take the help of local people.
