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
Found a novel way to mess up GPS navigation, or just want more sympathy for your failed expedition? Link to it here.
- 2008-06-30_46_14 - Janos encountered an Epoc Fail using peeron

- 2009-09-08 49 8 - On his expedition without GPS, ilpadre did not realize a distinctive parking lot has been rebuilt 130 m to the east and thus went to the wrong place.
Ribbon
It may make you feel better about your technological fiasco if you use this template to put a ribbon on your user page.
If you can manage not to screw that up too....
