Apple's Aussie map glitch: Snakes! In the desert!

[Wildfire]

CANBERRA — Australian police have warned travelers off using Apple's troubled iPhone mapping software after several motorists
became stuck in a snake-infested, desert corner of the country while using their phone for directions.

Police in southeast Victoria state said they had been forced to rescue a number of motorists who had become stuck for up to 24
hours "without food or water" after being directed to the arid Murray Sunset National Park, instead of the tourist town of Mildura,
43 miles away.

The Murray-Sunset National Park is in Victoria's far northwest, a relatively untouched semi-arid region accessible only by
our-wheel-drive vehicle.

Clemence said at least six vehicles had become stuck on the desert park's sandy tracks after being directed by the iOS mapping
system to turn off a long and infrequently sign-posted stretch of highway between South Australia state and Victoria.

Clemence said police had contacted Apple over the issue. But while the world's most valuable company had now rectified Mildura's
location for people travelling from South Australia, motorists seeking directions from Melbourne city were still being directed off
course by iOS.
