Maps can be hazardous too.  I was once navigating while a friend drove our
rented car through some town in France.  We end up in the old part of the
city, past a plaza with a church and I'm poring over the map and telling her
"we have to turn left, we have to turn left."  She's ignoring me.

Finally she said "joy, LOOK at where you're directing me to turn!"

It was a staircase.

Only skightly off topic considering the number of us that use GPS based

Tab through the pictures!!
When the driver was asked "What happened?" he responded "I was just
following the onboard GPS system".  I guess that was after disconnecting
brain.  Maybe I'd better shut up now that I think of the time I almost drove
into a low garage with the Bagawest carrier up top.....
