Yes. There was a man who was driving to a job interview. His GPS took him to a place that was under construction and he couldn't get through. He had to find an alternative route in a hurry but was late for the interview. Also, a biker was following GPS on a long - distance ride. The GPS made him go through a flooded area where he almost got swept away. And a group of hikers were led by GPS to a place full of thorny bushes and had a hard time getting out.
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.
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.
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.
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. For example, a lost dog was found because it had a GPS tracker on its collar. The owner was able to track its location and bring it home.
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.
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.
An agricultural business used GPS asset tracking on their farming equipment like tractors and harvesters. This allowed them to better manage their resources. They could see which fields the equipment was working on, and how long it took. They were able to plan their farming activities more effectively, and also prevent the loss of expensive equipment through theft or misplacement as they could quickly locate it if something went wrong.
Sure. There was a case where the person doing dermaplaning held the blade at the wrong angle. Instead of a smooth glide across the skin, it dug in a bit too much. This caused the skin to be scraped rather than just having the top layer of dead skin and hair removed. The result was a very uneven skin surface and a lot of pain for the client during the process.
Sure. There was a patient who had an endoscopy due to stomach pain. The doctor initially diagnosed it as a minor ulcer based on the endoscopy results. But it turned out to be a much more serious condition, cancer. Because of the wrong diagnosis, the treatment was delayed, and the patient's condition worsened significantly.
