Some Google Maps users have found a surprising 'ghost' bug, where a strange voice replaces the default one set for navigation directions.
It’s unclear what caused the bug, but people took to Twitter and Reddit to detail their unexpected Google Maps navigation experiences.earlier this week. “On my trip home today, it was mostly the woman voice, then suddenly for one instruction, it talked in what sounded like a deep man’s voice with a slight Indian accent.”
Hi Ryan, we apologies for your experience. The team is working on a fix and it will be rolled out soon. Thank you for your patience.Google made a note of the matter. As seen above, Google responded that the team is “working on a fix” that should roll out soon. Google didn’t explain what caused the problem and where it tends to appear. It’s unclear if the ghost bug impacts a particular type of device or a certain version of the Google Maps app.
That’s to say you shouldn’t panic if Google Maps starts behaving erratically when it comes to voice directions. It’s just some sort of error that Google is fixing — or has already fixed.
