Mangaluru: Google Maps misleads tourists to Meenakaliya beach instead of Panambur

Mangaluru, Jul 8: Google Maps is misleading tourists, directing them to Meenakaliya beach instead of the popular tourist destination Panambur beach in the city.

The dead-end beach at Meenakaliya is very dangerous. A home guard is now deployed at the spot to redirect tourists who mistakenly visit Meenakaliya Beach thinking it is Panambur Beach. However, when searching for ‘Panambur beach parking’ on Google Maps, it correctly shows Panambur Beach Road.

Google Maps directs tourists from Udupi to Mangaluru via Narayana Guru Road near Haleyangadi when they search for Panambur beach. If someone searches for Panambur beach, they are taken to Meenakaliya beach instead.

Tourists are urging the tourism department to address this issue by ensuring the exact destination is correctly registered on Google Maps.

    I once got stuck on a very narrow road down a steep hill behind Bondel, all thanks to Google Maps. But, 9 out of 10 times, it works like a charm.

    When we first moved to Mangalore and searched for Panambur beach on Google maps, it took us to this beach. It took us more than a year to realise that the real Panambur beach is located elsewhere.:)
