In Hawaii, GPS Keeps Sending Drivers Into the Ocean

In April a tourist in Hawaii followed GPS driving directions straight into a harbor. And one month later, another tourist did the exact same thing — driving into the same harbor. One onlooker remembers “screaming the whole time to get her attention but her GPS had told her to go there, so she drove right in.”

When asked if they’d add warning signs, a state government spokeperson said no. “It’s really clear that it is a ramp and it leads directly into the water.” Although an information specialist for Hawaii’s Department of Transportation did offer future tourists this advice.
“If you see a body of water, don’t drive towards it.”
