When satelite navigation became available for everybody a few years ago, there were many bizarre examples of how the thing was giving insane instructions of roads not existing, shortcut through parks, or at bike lanes not really suitable for cars. Most them have improved so dramatically that it now actually pays off to use them, and they have passed the phase of "for tech-geeks-only" into "standard-equipment-for-mr/mrs-smith".

But not everywhere: In a small town called "Vale of Glamorgan" in southern Wales, the council has decided to put up signs warning drivers not to trust their satelite navigation equipment after a period of chaos with large trucks in the village. The signs are the first in Britain, and I have not seen anything like that in Denmark, yet. (Via Telegraph and BoingBoing)

Another related issue is the one with the combination of satelite navigation and construction work. There is always construction work going on somewhere - and often this work is not marked on a satelite navigation, causing the driver to go down closed roads, etc. I am told, that newer models of SatNav takes care of this, so in the future, maybe signs like the one in Wales will become obsolete.
