Claim this consolation prize if you travel to the wrong point, or run out of time to get to the right one, because of a technological error. Typically this would be entering the wrong point in your GPS, tracking direct-to the wrong waypoint, pressing the wrong button and deleting the waypoint, or otherwise making a GPS user error. Starting with the wrong data because of entering the wrong date on the website, transposing numbers, or otherwise mucking up the technology also qualify.
