Heard a warning to motorists on the radio this morning about using GPS'.

The Radio station ( 3AW) warned people to be careful when using GPS navigation following the plight of family in a sedan who Ploted travel from Bright in Victoria to Packenham.

No not being distracted as you may expect.

The family followed the GPS which took them over several 4wd tracks and isolated country.

The GPS was obviously set for shortest route. For those not familiar with the area, a direct line would take you across some of Victoria's most rugged parts of the high country.

For God's sake how stupid are people. Surely they can figue out that you should not drive a car on 4wd tracks, even if your GPS tells you to.

About a month ago there was a similar case where a person drove down the as yet unopened Eastern Tollway. I wonder if the GPS directed them around the barriers and DO NOT ENTER signs.

The radio station must have had a bad news day.
