Last month another German made international news when he followed his satnav into a construction site and ploughed into a mound of sand because the satnav told him to do it. "German police are reporting increasing numbers of satnav bloopers". The March issue of "GIM International" has an article on how Satnav is iverting trucks fomr freeways to rural roads through villages, and the issue has been paced on the Dutch political agenda. Finally, and urelatedly, the March issue of "Geographical Research" has an interesting article by some Japanese researchers on using handheld laserscanners to make rapid onsite topo mapping of archaeological sites where political and technical restrictions prohibit the use of more standard mapping equipment or access to local maps/aerial photos.
