There was an incident where a car strayed into a graveyard even though they were using Google Maps. Maybe there is something wrong with the way of navigation. Let's see the right way.
The Google Maps application is simple and has become the default application on all smartphones. But do not use this application carelessly, or there is a risk of getting lost.
On Wednesday (15/6/2022) another car strayed into a cemetery in Suniaraja Village, Sagalaherang Kaler Village, Sagalaherang District, Subang Regency. This incident went viral.
The driver admitted to following Google Maps, but was instead directed to the cemetery. It seems that there is a possibility of an error in the creation of the route of the trip.
Well, compiled by us from the official Google guide, this is the easiest and most correct way to use it.
How to use Google Maps the right way:
Open the Google Maps application on your smartphone
Determine the destination location by searching on the map or typing in the search field
Select Direction, after that Google Maps will create a route to get there. Well, next point please be careful
BEWARE, do not choose the wrong route. Choose the route according to the mode of transportation used. There is a car, motorcycle, train (public vehicle), walk, or vehicle online icon
The main or fastest route will appear in blue. If there is another route option, Google Maps will show gray color
Route evaluation. Check the route carefully, if you get off the highway and into a small street, check again with Google Street View to make sure your vehicle can pass
If you are sure of the route, click Start to start navigating
Attention, yes, many users get lost because of mistakes in points 4 and 6. Want to go by car, but choose the motorbike route, as a result, they are taken to a narrow lane. There are also those who ride motorbikes, but choose the car route, as a result there are incidents of motorbikes entering the toll road.
While the error in point 6 is, ignoring the condition of the route being passed. It's a car route, but what car was it? A city car may fit, while an SUV may not necessarily pass.
So even though it looks easy, using Google Maps does have to be careful. Good luck and good luck on your journey!
