During a busy holiday break, confusion erupted in Germany as Google Maps incorrectly indicated extensive road closures, particularly around major cities. Many drivers encountered red dots on their navigation, suggesting stop signs and traffic standstill. This led to clogged alternative routes and increased delays for those searching for detours. Meanwhile, alternative navigation apps portrayed a more accurate view of the situation, showing traffic flowing without issues. The cause of the erroneous information remains uncertain, leading to social media speculation, including concerns over possible cyber incidents affecting navigation services.
