A mayor in the Ogliastra
area of Sardinia has banned the use of Google maps after too
many people got lost on trekking paths and remote roads locally
after using the app.
"The old paper maps are better", said Baunei Mayor Salvatore
Corrias.
Several hikers have gone missing and many cars got stuck in
the impassable narrow roads of the Supramonte area after using
Google Maps.
Signs have now been put up warning drivers "Don't Follow the
Directions of Google Maps."
"We are putting them up everywhere," Corrias told ANSA.
