GPS Strands Motorist on Mountain

I hope that you don't rely on your GPS to the exclusion of your common sense. This guy followed his navigator's instructions to "a glorified goat track." and had to be rescued by a helicopter crew!
Driver Robert Ziegler, 37, found himself stranded near the peak at Bergun, Switzerland, unable to go forward or turn around to go back the way he came.

Rescue workers scrambled a heavy lifting helicopter to carry the van and its driver to safety after he dialed for help on his mobile phone.

"I was lost and I kept hoping that each little turn would get me back to the main road. In the end it told me to turn around but of course I couldn't by then," the driver told police.
