Thank goodness Australians never fall for that sort of thing.
Not that it deterred too many.Īnd a Syrian truck driver wound up 2600 kilometres off course when his sat-nav sent him to the Gibraltar Point nature reserve on the coast of Lincolnshire, England, instead of Gibraltar, the British territory in southern Spain that's famed for its iconic, eponymous rock. In Shropshire, England, so many drivers have followed electronic instructions and nearly driven across a timber jetty used by a ferry that the local council erected signs to warn people about the absurd directions. One vehicle bogged in sand, two others ran low on fuel and the global positioning system (GPS) directed another car towards a sheer cliff.
In the US, a convoy of 26 tourists driving through scenic southern Utah spent a night stranded after their satellite navigation led them on a merry dance.
