That ain't muddy, this is muddy:
On the original topic, I'm not as bad as MikeB but I have used at least 50+ GPS Receivers in my time and probably have 20 or more in the cupboard next to me. Identifying the right charger is a fun game for the whole family!

...and which system were you using when it guided you into that field? 
Was it telling you that you were on a major road at the time?
That might have been the case 10 years ago, but I think that modern receivers take a lot of beating unless you're looking for inch perfect accuracy

No but it was telling me I was on a road, that believe it or not is a legal byway with full vehicular rights

...in this case, I think it was clearly a matter of having the right vehicle as well as vehicular rights

Yep, I'm sure he was beating it on the dashboard, sun visor, bonnet, and the door, but it was still leading him accurately up the garden path.

As long as he was enjoying his venture, does it really matter
Who was the poor soul who got to wash the car when they got home though?

That would be me of course and with a hose too as the local garage banned me after leaving a ton of mud the last time I used their jet wash 
The pic was from a tea stop on a 70 mile trip almost entirely along legal byways in Wiltshire. All legal, no stupidity, just sedate progress through some beautiful countryside. Short video of the day I made here.

Looks like a right laugh. I like that you arn't going fast enough to swat a few flies but slow enough that they land on the windscreen.
Looks deep in places too, one rut on the left for the left wheels, one rut on the right for the right wheels, and on in the middle for the sump and diff!
Excellent!
