Google Maps Kerala

Two men, who were on their way to a hospital using Google Maps to find their way, drove their car into a swollen river but had a miraculous escape as the vehicle got stuck to a tree in Kerala's northernmost Kasaragod district.

Using Google maps to navigate resulted in a tourist group from Hyderabad driving into a stream swollen with water near Kuruppanthara in this south Kerala district, police said today.

Two young doctors died on Sunday when the car they were travelling in plunged into the river Periyar at Gothuruth near here, police said.

Police said more details of the burglaries Umaprasad committed may be revealed after a detailed interrogation.

Even when people in flood-hit Kerala are offline, they can use their Android smartphones or tablets to generate and share the "plus code" of their exact location, which can pinpoint their whereabouts and make it easier for rescue workers to reach them, Google said on Saturday.

For Kerala floods, Google Maps users can share their location using plus codes, and Jio, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, and BSNL are offering free data, calling, and bill payment extensions.
