How many times have you reached dead ends by following Google Maps? If that's a yes then you would want to thank the person who put up this banner in Goa. With multiple incidents of tourists being wrongly directed to a marketplace instead of Baga beach by Google Maps, a kind soul decided to help lost explorers. While Google Maps has arguably changed the way people travel, incidents of people reaching the wrong locations are very common.

A photo of the banner put up at the marketplace has gone viral, and Twitterati can't stop thanking the doer for it. Hung, a kilometre from Baga beach, the banner reads, "You are fooled by Google Maps. This road doesn't take you to Baga Beach!!! Turn back and take a left turn, Baga is 1 km from here." The Twitter user Sumanth Raj Urs took to social sharing the photo saying: 'Hahaha. @googlemaps what's the route to Baga beach? Photo credits: masud.' Google Maps Shows Northern England School's Name as 'Prison & Hell On Earth!'
