That one has actually happened: http://bgr.com/2016/05/17/car-gps-mapping-directions-lake/ http://bgr.com/2016/05/17/car-gps-mapping-directions-lake/
It's a little unfair, though. There was heavy rain, fog, and a second article [0] says it was also in the middle of the night. The photo there also does make it look easy to mistake as a road.

- at-fates-hands 8y agoDidn't this happen in an Office episode? I remember Dwight and Michael arguing in Michael's car over whether the GPS was right as it kept telling them to go right which was directly into a lake.

- kbenson 8y agoOh, yeah. From that picture, it took me a second to realize I wasn't looking at a wet road-top and instead water in a lake, which is very close to the same height as the surrounding road. I'm glad it wasn't me driving there at night and in the rain, I could see myself making the same very bad mistake.
