Google is everywhere. And if you don’t believe us, you can Google the fact and check yourself. From facilitating our communications to providing us with any information to streaming endless hours of entertainment to showing us the way to where we need to go, Google does it all. But, even the digital lifeline isn’t always infallible.
We all use Google Maps to get to our destinations and it is one application most of us are thankful for. From giving the traffic details to the best routes, Maps are really a convenient option. Google too, introduces new features every once in a while but it is a common confusion when you are approaching a flyover, whether you have to take it or not. And more often you end up taking the wrong route and have to go ahead, take a turn and come back to get on the flyover. A Twitter user pointed out the same and the tweet went instantly viral, so much so that Google took notice and gave him a reply.

A Twitter user by the name Karthik Arora wrote a tweet addressing Google that the deflection while approaching a flyover is not visible.

Mentioning Google, Kartik tweeted his problem in the most hilarious way and said,
“Itne badhiya maps banaye, chota sa feature aur daal dete ki saaf saaf bolde flyover par chadhna hai ya neeche se jaana hai. 5 inch ke screen par aadhe milimetre ka deflection Kahan se dekhe aadmi? Yours Truly, 2km aage se U Turn leta hua aadmi.” (Dear Google, You made great maps, but there could have been a feature to users know whether to take the flyover or not. It is difficult to notice a small deflection of 0.5 millimetre on a 5-inch screen? Yours truly, the person who is taking a U-Turn after from 2kms ahead.)”
Below is tweet by Kartik:
Dear @Google
Itne badhiya maps banaye, chota sa feature aur daal dete ki saaf saaf bolde flyover par chadhna hai ya neeche se jaana hai. 5 inch ke screen par aadhe milimetre ka deflection Kahan se dekhe aadmi?
Yours Truly,

It was a sarcastically written tweet which was retweeted over 22,000 times. Google’s reply was also innovative as they used a shayari to reply to him.

If you’re in Bangalore and traveling towards Hosur road via silkboard and took that never ending FLYOVER by mistake. That’s frustrating!!
Yours truly
