"I have been facing an issue with Google Maps recently," wrote Awesh (@awesh). "It often shows roads that are accessible only by bike. Ideally, Google Maps should be able to identify if the user is accessing it through CarPlay and display roads that are suitable for cars by default."

"I had similar, but that is towards Kudagu, in 2016," added another user Sabari Iyer (@SabariIyer_mdu). "Two of my friends and I were travelling from Bengaluru to Kodagu, and it was dark and around midnight we entered a forest and the map led us to a cliff. Luckily, we sensed something was wrong and got out of the car to check. When we realised that we were on the edge, we immediately reversed the car."
