Google Maps misrepresented that roads were closed nationwide for drivers in Germany
This week, there was confusion on German roads after Google Maps had misrepresented drivers that roads were closed across the country during a busy holiday. Clearly closed roads are located close to very large German cities and metropolitan areas, including Berlin, Duceledorf and Dartmund.
As reported by a local -based journalist . The Guardian Police and local authorities have reported that people who are confused (and perhaps very angry) have been contacted.
To increase the problem, Google Maps error is similar to the start of Germany’s Ascension Day Public Holiday on May 29, which means that the roads are much more busy than normal.
The problem continues for a few hours and only by Thursday afternoon to be demonstrated by real road closures. It is not clear whether Google Maps is not working now, or something more vicious. “The information in Google Maps comes from various sources. Information from positions, street names, boundaries, traffic data and road networks comes from a combination of third -party providers, public sources and user input,” Google spokesman told German newspaper. This is to add that the internally reviews the problem. “Generally, these roots provide a strong foundation for integrated and up -to -date maps.”
Technical issues with Google Maps are not uncommon. Back in March, For future instructions – for future instructions will track all the places you have visited before – wiped out, and after Google some people have removed their data and, in some cases, will not be recovered.
