Google Maps creates trouble in the family, complaint lodged against Google

In a bizarre incident, a trader has lodged a police complaint seeking damages from Google maps which, he claim had wrongly recorded his movements which has wrecked his peace of mind due to marital discord with his wife who has the habit of checking his movement from his maps timeline.

Nagapattinam (Tamil Nadu): A man in Tamil Nadu has lodged a complaint against Google and its Maps App for showing him to have visited places that he says he did not. The complainant, R Chandrasekaran, is a resident of Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam.

Chandrasekaran's wife used to check her husband's phone to find out where he had been throughout the day. In one such incident on May 20, Chandrasekaran's wife checked her husband's Google Map’s 'Your Timeline' section. But it allegedly showed places he had never visited. This triggered a war of words between the wife and husband.

"This problem creates a lot of suspicion and confusion in family," says Chandrasekaran.

As a result, he filed a complaint against Google and it's Map apps and asked for compensation for all the mental torture he received by using the app.
