This is why I don't just rely on electronics like GPS systems that can and do malfunction for directions and always have a map/mapquest printout with me when I take trips. I hear about GPS units giving bad directions or malfunctioning all the time and people end up getting really lost which is why it is always a good idea to have a map or written directions. Driving straight into a lake because an electronic device told you to is beyond ridiculous though.

So much for spending an extra 2K or more on the way overpriced GPS option for her Mercedes.

The Mercedes was a rental and the navigation system was probably offered to her by the rental company.
