Why is Google Maps so lost in Mauritius ?

@retired-desi

Hi,

Google Maps isn't always reliable when it comes to public transport in Mauritius, particularly for bus routes. It applies for places of interest as well. It's important to bear in mind that not every country has the same level of digital mapping or public transport integration.

When it comes to bus/public transport in Mauritius, better ask locals or the "chef de gare" i.e station master at the bus terminal. You will find one in any bus station/terminal including Quatre-Bornes central.

You may also check bus routes online :

Specifically, to get from Quatre Bornes to Tribeca by bus, take the Express Port Louis bus (blue bus) along St Jean Road (at any bus stop). As a precaution, it's always best to check with the bus conductor before boarding.

Use Waze. So much more accurate

Thank you. I did stumble and tumble through the day and found partial relief when I reached mauritius-buses and buscnt.

Google maps is an amazing app for information,  but it's rubbish for navigation.

It used to be top of the tree, but Google introduced AI and improved it to useless, so I switched to Waze.
