I believe it. I was driving along the east coast once and using my GPS. It was a long trip so I'd left at midnight so I could be there by morning. GPS led me to a dead end and told me to "turn left." Left of me was a dirt road. I hit the detour function and it said there was none, I had to go left. It was the absolute LAST thing I wanted to do but I didn't know what else to do, no internet on the phone and there was nothing open around me. I couldn't go back the way I came, it was a one-way. The dirt road ran out fairly quickly and I found myself driving THROUGH A FIELD. The last thing I wanted to be was a lost black woman in a field in South Carolina in the middle of the night! I know movies are just movies but the situation felt very
A Time to Kill-esque. I was ready to get the eff out of there.
The field thankfully ran out behind a Denny's and I had to gun my car to jump a curb to get into their parking lot. My mom doesn't trust my GPS to this day (and neither do I, really). I learned my lesson. Now, I look up all directions on Yahoo/Google maps before I leave, just in case.
ETA: If it had happened before the advent on GPS, I would have blamed it on my poor sense of direction. But it didn't.
