‘Fooled by Google Maps’: Banner in Goa’s Baga Beach warns tourists of wrong route

Google Maps is the go-to application for navigating to a location, especially when you’re in a new city. The app is simple to use, works on slow internet connection and most importantly it’s quite reliable. But sometimes even Google Maps gets it wrong.

Looks like people travelling to Goa’s popular Baga Beach face this problem more than often. To address this problem, locals have put up a banner with a message, “You are fooled by Google Maps. This road doesn’t take you to Baga Beach. Turn back and take a left turn, Baga is 1 km from here.”

An image of the banner was posted on Twitter by Sumanth Raj Urs via masud. The tweet has already received over 200 retweets and over 900 likes.
