In 2008, Google Maps launched in India, but it quickly ran into a major problem: streets often didn’t have names, and GPS was far from accurate. As a result, directions were unreliable, and users were forced to navigate based on landmarks, which created confusion and frustration.
Fast forward to today, and Google Maps continues to struggle with critical issues—like misdirecting drivers into dangerous or narrow streets, leading to fatal accidents in some cases.
In this video, we explore how Google’s scrappy, user-driven research helped tackle India’s unique navigation challenges, but also look at the ongoing risks of relying on imperfect data. Tune in for an in-depth look at the evolution of Google Maps in one of the world’s most diverse and complex markets.
