You must be pretty damn stupid to make that mistake. If I ever use a sat nav I am still checking all the signs and making sure the sat nav is taking me the correct way. I also have a habbit of ignoring the sat nav because I know better.

Yes, what a prat.
Well at least I know now where Gibraltar Point actually is, after hearing it mentioned on the shipping forecast every day for years. Strange, I haven't lived on the UK coast for eight years but I still can't resist listening to see what's coming up the Channel.

 Real sat nav blunder - Armel Coussine
If they had told him that Gibraltar was an infidel corruption of Jebel Tarik - Tarik's Mountain, after the Muslim North African warlord who conquered it - he would have gone straight there, no problem.

We infidels have a lot to answer for (including pratnav).

How did he get into the country? Don't HMRC check the paperwork?
