just wondering ... if google maps says to do a u-turn in 200m ... does it mean that the u-turn is a proper/legit one ? coz i can't really see any u-turn signs along the way.

It's about 85% accurate. Sometimes the u turn/no u turn is not updated.

Whether Google or any GPS still must open eyes big big before making any turns. If yoyr eyes tell yoy it's not legit then trust your eyes.

of course will try to look out for the sign ... but sometimes might miss it ... so just wondering if the google map direction is "trustable" or not ?

 

esp when i am already lost and gone wrong way already ...

Google map u turn is less accurate then waze. Waze have slight advantage in terms on knowing which junction can u turn and which junction cannot due to the help of user contribution. In general sense majority of the time is quite accurate.

NEW DELHI: Google said Tuesday it was assisting Indian authorities probing the deaths of three men who reportedly drove off an incomplete bridge while following a route on Google Maps.

The group was on their way to a wedding in Uttar Pradesh when their car plunged into the Ramganga river from the unfinished bridge early Sunday.

The driver followed Google Maps into taking the route, the Hindustan Times newspaper said Tuesday, quoting police officials.

Police questioned an unnamed official from the navigation app, as well as others from the government public works department, the Press Trust of India news agency also reported.

"Our deepest sympathies go out to the families. We're working closely with the authorities and providing our support to investigate the issue," a Google spokesperson told AFP in an emailed statement.

A local police officer said that a portion of the bridge had been damaged during a flood last year.

The accident comes a year after two doctors were killed in the southern state of Kerala when their car plunged into the state's Periyar river after they followed the app.
