Go go gadget helicopter ... WHOA!
from Inspector Gadget

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.

Claimants
