Taxi Driver Online

I've never used a sat nav but if the price was right I might reconsider? However, here's a tale of a sat nav gone wrong.

HEADLINE: A sat nav that failed to deliver

AN ambulance carrying a woman about to have twins got lost because its satellite navigation system did not recognise postcodes.

It had been diverted 80 miles after pregnant Karon Danson was told her local hospital was full. The driver had to stop and ask the way because there was no map in the vehicle.

But with the help of a police escort, Karon reached the hospital just in time for her twins to be born six weeks early.

The nightmare drive began when she learned that there were no free cots at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings, East Sussex. The closest hospital which could take her was at Chertsey in Surrey, 80 miles away.

Now safely back at home with her husband Nick, 29, and twins Chloe and Ben, Karon, 26, said:"It is unbelievable to think a taxi has a more sophisticated sat nav than an ambulance." An Ambulance Service spokeswoman said yesterday: "We are sorry if the satellite navigation system failed."

I met someone at the world cup who had set his tom tom for Frankfurt and was suprised at the lack of fellow England fans when he arrived.

He had set it for the wrong Frankfurt hundreds of miles away from where England were playing.
