Sat-Nav leads German to toilet

Posted by Graeme Wearden

Here's a comedy tale from Germany, about a guy whose satellite navigation system led him straight into a portable lavatory. According to the guys at The Register, when the device ordered him to "turn right now" he immediately twisted the wheel (rather than waiting for the junction some 30 metres ahead).

He ploughed across a building site, mounted a set of stairs, before crunching into a portaloo.

More Dum-Dum than Tom-Tom, I fear.
