When Google Maps led to a family discord

Google Maps might bring a smile on the faces of millions of people as it guides them to navigate unknown routes without much difficulty, but not certainly for R Chandrashekar.

The owner of a fancy store in Mayiladuthurai in Nagapattinam district has filed a complaint with police seeking action against the technology giant for “causing trouble” in his family life.

The 49-year-old man’s grievance is that his wife had been tracking his movement using Google Maps, which “falsely shows” that he had visited certain locations where he had never been. Google Maps, according to Chandrashekar, is giving him “sleepless nights” as his wife believes the mobile application than anyone else.
