Well, there was this instance where a person was driving at night following GPS. The GPS took them through a desolate area that was actually a private property with no trespassing signs. They almost got arrested. Also, a group of cyclists used GPS for a new route but it led them onto a busy highway where bikes are not allowed. It was really dangerous for them. Then, an Uber driver once got lost because of wrong GPS and left the passengers in a completely wrong area.
There are many 'wrong gps horror stories'. For example, a couple was trying to find a remote cabin for a vacation. Their GPS took them to an abandoned building in the middle of the forest instead. They were so scared because it was dark and the place looked spooky. In another case, a tourist in a foreign country followed the GPS to what was supposed to be a famous landmark but ended up in a slum area. The GPS also made a business traveler miss an important meeting once as it directed him to a wrong part of the city and he got stuck in traffic on the wrong route.
One wrong GPS horror story is about a family on a road trip. The GPS directed them onto a narrow, unpaved road in the middle of nowhere. They got stuck and had no cell service. It was terrifying as night fell and they were stranded. Another is when a hiker followed GPS directions that led him to the edge of a cliff that wasn't marked as dangerous on the GPS. And a delivery driver once ended up in a dangerous neighborhood due to wrong GPS directions and was threatened.
One possible GPS horror story could be getting lost in the middle of nowhere. The GPS might lead you to a dead - end road or an uninhabited area where there's no cell service. You could find yourself stranded, with no idea how to get back to civilization. It's really scary when you rely on GPS and it fails you like that.
One GPS horror story is about a family on a road trip. The GPS led them onto a very narrow and dangerous dirt road in the middle of nowhere. They got stuck and it took hours for help to arrive. Another is when a hiker followed GPS directions in the mountains and ended up on a cliff edge where one wrong step could have been fatal.
Sure. A group of friends were going camping. The GPS sent them to a spot that was already occupied by some not - so - friendly people. They quickly left. Another story is of a person who was supposed to be at the airport on time. But the GPS led them to a dead - end road and they missed their flight. One more is that a delivery van followed GPS to a wrong address and delivered important packages to the wrong place, causing a lot of chaos.
Yes. I heard of a group of friends who were going camping. Their GPS took them to a restricted military area. They were stopped by armed guards and had a very difficult time explaining that they were just following the GPS directions. It was a terrifying experience for them, thinking they could have been in serious trouble.
One GPS - related good story is about a hiker who got lost in a large forest. Thanks to GPS on his phone, he was able to accurately send his location to the rescue team. They quickly found him and he was safe.
I heard about a case where a family was on a road trip. Their GPS directed them to a so - called 'shortcut' which turned out to be a dirt road in the middle of a forest. As they drove further, the road got worse and worse until their car got stuck. They were miles away from any help and it took hours for them to be rescued. It was a real nightmare.
A rental car company also had a great success with GPS asset tracking. They could monitor the location of their cars at all times. This not only helped in preventing theft but also enabled them to offer better customer service. For example, if a customer got lost or had an issue on the road, they could quickly dispatch assistance based on the car's GPS location. The company also used the tracking data to analyze popular rental areas and optimize their fleet distribution.
Well, there was this time a delivery guy's GPS went haywire. He was supposed to deliver to an apartment complex but the GPS directed him to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. He was so lost and frustrated. After several attempts to re - route, he finally gave up on the GPS and called the customer for the correct address. It was really a comical yet annoying situation for him.
A group of hikers followed their GPS to a so - called 'beautiful waterfall'. When they got there, it was just a small muddy puddle. Turns out the GPS coordinates were way off. They had a good laugh about it later.
Sure. Once, my friend was using GPS to drive to a new restaurant. The GPS led him to a really narrow alley that was clearly not meant for cars. He ended up having to back out very carefully while locals watched and laughed.
