Yeah, sorry, I'll trump your tale. IOS maps got me chased out of the Baikonaur cosmodrome by the Russian Army and "special police" at 4 in the morning. The roads in Kaz are dirt tracks for thousands of miles, frequently, so getting lost is easy - particularly when the road vectors have a one-point-per-10km res.
