GPS LEADS MOTORISTS ON WAYWARD TRIP

On August 10, a couple called to report that they followed their GPS directions while driving in South Maitland and became lost when they ended up on logging roads in the area.

Officers patrolled to the last known cell phone location, but the lost motorists were not there.

After some time, they notified police that they had found their way out of the woods.
