Oh snap! The road's closed. Never mind, Google Maps has a plan...

"The GPS led me to take a route through the middle of a township - which, at night, is NOT a good place for a white person to be. I managed to keep my wits, and get myself out of there ASAP."

To be fair, that's very much a local knowledge thing and I can't imagine any form of mapping system is going to take into account, in this specific case, the drivers skin colour before deciding which way to go.

Anyone living in a area which has danger zones or no-go areas should never rely on any form of map to find a route without using local up to date knowledge.
