Not a long time ago, the directions provided by Google Maps to a young Russian driver sent him and his friend to an abandoned road, eventually causing one of them to freeze to death while the other ended up in hospital in severe condition.

And now, Google Maps navigation has contributed to another unfortunate event, as a 34-year-old driver ended up with the car in the water, eventually drowning because he didn’t know how to swim.
It happened in India where 34-year-old Satish Ghule was driving his boss and a friend towards Kalsubai, Maharashtra’s highest peak, for trekking. The driver didn’t know the route, so he turned to Google Maps for help.
