Google Maps suggests ‘potentially fatal’ routes up Ben Nevis, say mountain charities

Organisations in Scotland say they have tried to contact Google about the dangers but received no reply

Scottish mountaineering charities have criticised Google for suggesting routes up Ben Nevis and other mountains they say are potentially fatal" and direct people over a cliff.

The John Muir Trust, which looks after the upper reaches of the UK's highest mountain, said attempts to contact the company over the issue had been met with silence.
