It happens again and again: Drivers drive blindly according to the suggested route of the navigation system. That was now a woman's undoing.
You shouldn't blindly rely on navigation devices. A 28-year-old French woman suffered this on Saturday evening when she got into rough terrain near Grainau with her rental vehicle. According to the police report, the visitor actually wanted to take a trip to the Eibsee. But the navigation system guided the woman, who was unfamiliar with the location, first via the valley station of the Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn and then back to Germany to the Hochtörlenhütte.
The small car could no longer be maneuvered there on a gravel road at an altitude of 1,400 meters - and the 28-year-old desperately called the police operations center in Rosenheim. The Grainau fire brigade and mountain rescue team finally helped her out of a mess.
