Never trust a SatNav

OK, you can really trust your SatNav, but you must remember to also engage your brain…

Over at the BBC (read story) there is a cautionary tale of a Swedish couple that wanted to go to Capri, an island of Italy, and accidently typed Carpri (an industrial town in northern Italy) into their car GPS system… The result was they ended up 400 miles off course, and only discovered this when they went to the local tourist office in Carpi and asked for directions to some attractions in Capri. You would have thought not crossing a bridge or taking a ferry to get to an island would have been a give away….?
