Your GPS Wants You Dead

The Captain relies on nautical charts and stars to find his way to port. He recommends you at least double check your old-fashioned paper map before putting your life into the hands of a $99 machine.

A Senegalese man drove by mistake into a Spanish reservoir on Saturday evening - and drowned. His passenger survived.

Local authorities say the 37 year-old followed directions from his GPS on to an old unlit road that submerged into La Serena reservoir in Western Spain.

By the time he realised his satnav error it was too late to brake. Both men escaped from the car - which sank in two minutes - but only one swam to shore.
