Misspelling in GPS takes couple on 400 miles detour

A couple from Sweden who used their GPS to go to isle of Capri ended 400 miles off course and in the Italian town of Carpi after misspelling the name in the GPS.

According to BBC news the couple became aware what they had done when they asked at Carpi tourist office where Capri's famous Blue Grotto was. Apparently once they realised their mistake they got back in the car heading South.

In this case it seems that for once the technology was not to blame and the event was caused entirely by human error
