Now really: what part of "river" can't they understand ? Most importantly: Why do these people have drivers' licenses ?
Sat nav directs drivers to river
Drivers have ended up with wet feet after they followed satellite navigation directions - into a river.
The satellite system directs drivers to go across a ford known as The Splash in Luckington, Wilts but the drivers end up in 3ft of water.
Locals are now charging £25 (US$ 45) a time to pull them out with tractors reports The Sun.
Villager Lesley Bennett, 59, said: "There are warning signs but drivers plough on regardless."
Julie Jackson, 45, who had to abandon a Rover with mum Delcie Fielder, 70, said: "The car gurgled and that was it."
Sat nav supplier TomTom said: "We could re-route drivers."
