Apple Maps App Becomes Life-Threatening in Australia

The police department of Victoria state, Australia, is warning the public not to use Apple's error-prone Maps app when navigating to the southern city of Mildura, as drivers end up stranded in the middle of a remote state park. Apple Maps places the city of Mildura about 70 kilometers (44 miles) away from actual location, situating it within Murray Sunset National Park, a desert-like region with scorching temperatures and almost no mobile phone reception. The police department has reported that over the last 30 days, its officers have been forced to rescue six stranded drivers who have gotten stuck in the vast, sandy rural area.
