Quote LONDON — An ambulance crew ferrying a mental health patient between two nearby hospitals drove an extra 400 miles roundtrip because they relied on a faulty coordinates in their satellite navigation system. The 10-mile trip within London should have taken less than half an hour. But the crew, having never driven to the destination before, relied only on the vehicle's GPS system. They didn't fathom that something was amiss until they had reached the outskirts of Manchester, more than 200 miles north of London. The ambulance crew left King George's Hospital early Tuesday of last week and arrived at Mascalls Park Hospital in the afternoon. The London Ambulance Trust said the patent remained comfortable and arrived safely. All I can say is they must have been men Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yardhippie 0 #3 December 14, 2006 When I was in Paris early this year, the group I was with ended up with two cars. The one i was in had a map from Hertz. The other car had the Herts Neverlost, now known to us as Foreverlost. We found the hotel before they did, with only the map. Then, when we had to travel to another town, we arrived two hours earlier (on a 45 min trip) because they couldnt get out of Paris with their GPS. All we had was that crappy Hertz map! Learn how to use maps people!
