Mapping suppliers, Royal Ordnance Survey, have denied that its data was to blame after a second ambulance is reported to have got lost in Liverpool.
The NHS have promised an investigation after satnav error was blamed for the non-arrival of an ambulance which was unable to locate the home of a child who was thought (mistakenly) to have meningitis. The parents eventually set off to hospital in their car and saw the ambulance crew two streets away, who, according to the ambulance service were "outside the house"... obviously the wrong one.
It later became apparent that the ambulance crew were unable to find the house as the road layout has been changed five years earlier.
