Doesn’t matter if we going somewhere for the first time, or have forgotten the directions of the road, Google maps has made it quite easy for everyone to know the correct routes. It also shows traffic areas so that the person can avoid the crowded route. A person just needs his current location and where he wants to go, the Google map will guide him accordingly.
But no application is perfect, and Google maps are no exception. That is why, when the directions are shown by the web-mapping service, it becomes a little bit tricky to understand. Stand-up comedian Kartik Arora pointed out the same in his tweet in a hilarious way. He tagged Google in his tweet and said,
“Itne badhiya maps banaye, chota sa feature aur daal dete ki saaf saaf bolde flyover par chadhna hai ya neeche se jaana hai. 5 inch ke screen par aadhe milimetre ka deflection Kahan se dekhe aadmi? Yours Truly, 2km aage se U Turn leta hua aadmi.”
Dear @Google
Itne badhiya maps banaye, chota sa feature aur daal dete ki saaf saaf bolde flyover par chadhna hai ya neeche se jaana hai. 5 inch ke screen par aadhe milimetre ka deflection Kahan se dekhe aadmi?
Yours Truly,
2km aage se U Turn leta hua aadmi— Kartik Arora (@notkartHik) January 22, 2019
It did not take long for the tweet to go viral. Moreover, Google India too acknowledged Arora’s request in a poetic way and tweeted,
“Shukar manate hain aap jaise users ka, jo humein sahi raah dikhaate hain. Behtar bante jaane ka yeh safar rukega nahin, mere humsafar.”
Shukar manate hain aap jaise users ka, jo humein sahi raah dikhaate hain. Behtar bante jaane ka yeh safar rukega nahin, mere humsafar.
