Google Maps Audio Navigation Problems Could Affect Driver Safety, Make Navigation Confusing: Report
Google Maps is facing criticism over the reliability of its audio navigation, following a report that highlights recurring problems with pronunciation, turn instructions, and automatic route changes. The report points to difficulties in multilingual regions, where mispronounced street names can make directions unclear. It also notes cases where Google Maps switches routes without clear user consent. These issues can be risky for drivers who rely only on voice guidance, prompting calls for better controls and more dependable navigation.
