Australian Police: Take a Map Along when using SatNav

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Maps

Reminiscent of this post describing Scottish officials warning ambulances not to trust satnavs, come this story from Australia. After several incidents were motorists were lead onto unsuitable roads in rural areas, The Age newspaper reports:

Police are now urging motorists to take maps instead of blindly following instructions from a GPS.

These warnings will no doubt increase, but it doesn’t seem to impact GPS purchases or perhaps common sense.
