Google Maps has changed Dien Bien Phu street in Ho Chi Minh city into Vo Nguyen Giap street

Many Google Maps’ users in Ho Chi Minh City discovered that the name of Dien Bien Phu Street had been changed to Vo Nguyen Giap on the map application. The problem was detected since the morning of February 15th but until the early afternoon of the same day, many still encountered the issue when traveling in the area.

Dien Bien Phu Street is an important route that passes through many of Ho Chi Minh City’s inner districts. Therefore, many people who were unfamiliar with the roads had been inconvenienced by the mistake when they travelled in this area. In fact, the search result for Dien Bien Phu street still accurately directs users to its location, but the name of the route has been changed to Vo Nguyen Giap Street. 

Both Google Maps’ website and mobile map applications on Android and iOS displayed the street name incorrectly. 

According to a spokesperson of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, there was no notification of the change from Dien Bien Phu Street to Vo Nguyen Giap Street.

“Some geographic websites, including Google Maps, rely on multiple sources to display geographic information and places” names. We have notified Google about this issue and are awaiting their response to verify and fix it,” a representative from Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Transport said.

Google has acknowledged the incident and is working to verify and make necessary modifications to resolve this issue.
