GPS: Has navigation technology ever steered you wrong?

By CBC News

A Quebec woman stranded for three days on a snowy New Brunswick logging road after her GPS led her astray says she expected to be stuck until spring.

Stephanie Parent, 22, set out Sunday on a 10-hour drive from her home in Sherbrooke, Que., to a medical internship in Bathurst, N.B.

On Wednesday, a trio of snowmobilers discovered Parent -- cold, tired and afraid but otherwise unharmed -- on a remote road in the forest near Wayerton, N.B., more than 100 kilometres south of Bathurst.

Parent said her car has a GPS navigational device, which she used for her trip.
